- At the prompting of Eddie Owen <eowen@axion.bt.co.uk> I re-read that 4
- line paragraph in the IDSM (V5.2, p376, section 14.3.5) and found that
- it *does* say under what circumstances this might fail. "It is possible
- for the PST to grow [...] at the expense of the working set list." My
- working set extent is equal to (WSMAX - 16), so if the working set list
- grows to the extent then it doesn't have much space to grow the PST.
