>Release:        FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE i386
>Organization:
bitpit
>Environment:

	Any machine with enough memory.

>Description:

	The maximum datasize is set too low for some computations.
	Machines with 0.5GB core are not rare anymore.
	The current datasize limit of 512MB is too low for
	some purposes. (Computing 5 men chess endgame databases
	in the submitter's case)

>How-To-Repeat:

	malloc a lot.

>Fix:
	vmparam.h:
	replace 512*1024*1024 for max datasize with 2048*1024*1024
