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)
