- You can't. It's a hardware limitation - the memory translation
- hardware is designed to provide each process with a maximum of 4Mb,
- of which 1.5Mb is taken up by the shared libraries and the kernel
- (which is inaccessible). You can add more physical memory or swap,
- but programs can be 2.5Mb maximum.
