I've just subscribed to this mailing list, so I don't
know the complete thread "memory limit", but perhaps the
following information can be useful to you:

we work on a HP-Convex with HP-UX 10.01
a colleague of mine ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) very often
needs more than 1 GB; he achieves this with the help
of mpa (Modify Program Attributes):

synopsis:  mpa [options] [file]

e. g.      mpa -data ### program  

where ### is the number of required bytes.

(or        mpa -data ###M program    for MBytes)
