- Oops, you're right. Thank you for pointing this out. I mis-read the manual
- page for get/setrlimit and thought that the discussion about hard/soft limits
- only applied to RSS. This doesn't change the fact that 6MB is not enough VM
- for a large number of applications. In light of this, I would recommend
- changing the DFLDSIZ and DFLSSIZ parameters in /sys/i386/include/vmparam.h
- - even 8MB is *much* better than 6.
