I'm trying to load a Very Large Hash in perl (5.004_001) and the program
is silently exiting (it works fine when the hash is small but after
exceeding 150k records it fails).  My shell limits are

 Resource limits (current): 
  cputime infinity secs
  filesize infinity kb
  datasize 262144 kb
  stacksize 65536 kb
  coredumpsize infinity kb
  memoryuse infinity kb
  memorylocked infinity kb
  maxprocesses 8211
  openfiles 16424

I'm logging into tcsh v6.07
Any suggestions for increasing the ceiling on that resources I can use?
