Actually, I expect 4GB should be enough. However...

Even with 4GB on NetBSD there are a couple of data files I can't open
on my OpenDX *.net. Somebody said something about the per-process limit.
I get this...among others...

ERROR: Image: Display: Out of memory: Screen subdivision failed

I reset the server and get the same again. The NetBSD gurus said I might
look into sysctl. So...

From "man sysctl" I find I have like so...

<snip>
NetBSD 1.6.2_RC3                 June 6, 1993                                6
baal: {5} sysctl proc
proc.curproc.corename = %n.core
proc.curproc.rlimit.cputime.soft = unlimited
proc.curproc.rlimit.cputime.hard = unlimited
proc.curproc.rlimit.filesize.soft = unlimited
proc.curproc.rlimit.filesize.hard = unlimited
proc.curproc.rlimit.datasize.soft = 134217728
proc.curproc.rlimit.datasize.hard = 1073741824
proc.curproc.rlimit.stacksize.soft = 2097152
proc.curproc.rlimit.stacksize.hard = 33554432
proc.curproc.rlimit.coredumpsize.soft = unlimited
proc.curproc.rlimit.coredumpsize.hard = unlimited
proc.curproc.rlimit.memoryuse.soft = 3744112640
proc.curproc.rlimit.memoryuse.hard = 3744112640
proc.curproc.rlimit.memorylocked.soft = 1248037546
proc.curproc.rlimit.memorylocked.hard = 3744112640
proc.curproc.rlimit.maxproc.soft = 160
proc.curproc.rlimit.maxproc.hard = 532
proc.curproc.rlimit.descriptors.soft = 64
proc.curproc.rlimit.descriptors.hard = 1772
baal: {6}
</snip>

Which, if any of the above should I tamper with to let OpenDX take fuller
advantage of my new glut of RAM? Or do the DX gurus opine that I had ought
to rebuild my kernel? And if so, what ought I change?

TIA,

Gan
