No, this wont work above 16MB of text size, as the executable loaders have a limit on it. You *might* be able to get away with changing the MAXTSIZ in src/sys/i386/vmaram.h. Some other things may depend on this setting, I dont know. It's currently hardwired at 16MB and cannot be changed. IMHO, this sucks. MAXDSIZ and MAXSSIZ (for data and stack segments) can be overridden at config time. They are: 128MB data, 64MB stack. Those are rock solid limits and override the ulimit values. -Peter > Terry Lambert > terry@lambert.org >--- >Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present >or previous employers.
