Limiting QUSER DASD

We've been having some people using query products that shall remain
*cough* Crystal Reports *cough* nameless.  We've had several instances
of runaway queries causing the associated QZDASOINIT jobs to start
chewing through DASD.  We've tried limiting the user profile who runs
these malformed queries to 50GB disk (there's about 350GB free) so that
the system won't crash but the QZDASOINIT job -- and the temporary
storage allocation for the queries -- runs under QUSER.

So, is there anything that would prohibit us from doing a CHGUSRPRF
USRPRF(QUSER) MAXSTG(50000000) to limit QUSER to, again, about 50GB?
QUSER has less than 10MB allocated right now.

Note that for different reasons we can't limit the query runtimes.
