- In AIX 3.1 there was a limit of 256M on the size of 'data'. This limit
- comes from the 256M segment size of the architecture, but was really an
- artifact of the way AIX decided to do things. In AIX 3.2, things have
- been redone so that an application can get something like 8 times 256M
- for 'data' (I believe 'stack' would still be limited to 256M, but that's
- unlikely to be a problem). Getting larger limits for 'data' and 'stack'
- is done with new suboptions on the "-b" switch of 'ld'. I believe that
- their names are "maxdata" and "maxstack", but you should check the man
- pages. If these switches are not used, then the system limits are enforced.
