- Hello,
- there are other configuration parameters which have to be set. On
- our machine we also set
-
- maxdsiz 98
- maxtsiz 98
- maxssiz 98
-
- which - if I remember correctly - give the maximum allowed datat size,
- text size (program code size) and stack size. Be sure that your swap
- partition is large enough! (and don't forget to rebuild the kernel...)
