Why are the limits so low by default? In any case, this is what i found
in LINT.
options MAXDSIZ=(1024UL*1024*1024)
options MAXSSIZ=(128UL*1024*1024)
options DFLDSIZ=(1024UL*1024*1024)
I have no idea what those values mean, what should i set them to to be
safe? A limit 768MB should work for me.
512MB is more than enough for almost all processes to run just fine, and is
only really inappropriate for the case where you've got 1-plus GB of physical
RAM and want to dedicate the system to a single large task, or perhaps a
single-digit number of processes if you've got several GB of physical RAM.

PS: On the other hand, as time passes and 64-bit hardware with 4+ GB of RAM
becomes more common, this 512MB limit starts resembling the "640K is more than
enough" comment from years past. Core memory used to cost a dollar a bit,
rather than a dollar a megabit today, but that was before my time... :-)
