- You have probably encountered a software limit on memory.
-
- In csh (maybe also in the other shells, but I use csh (well, actually
- tcsh 8-) )) there is command named limit. I'm not at my 386BSD computer
- now, so I'm not sure of the names, but do limit and look for things that
- may be called: stacksize, datasize, and memoryuse.
- Increase these values as wanted.
