Flapping interface caused authd to consume to too much memory

Hello, this problem has been resolved, but I was wondering if anyone else has seen it. The other day I had a switch port on a EX-4200 connected to a client PC that was flapping every 3 seconds. This flapping caused the authd to RLIMIT_DATA to kick in. The log entry stated: ( /kernel: Process (1314), authd) attempted to exceed RLIMIT_DATA: attempted 131132 KB Max 131072 KB. When a "show system processes extensive" command was ran authd was at the top of the process list consuming the most resources. Once we found the machine that was the causing the problems, we disabled it's switchport. This didnt initially solve the problem and we ended up having to issue the " restart ethernet-switching gracefully". My question is, is there something I can configure that will prevent a client PC port flapping issue, not DOS my switch? Thanks in advance.
