!The size of the pointer does not necessarily have anything to do with the

!-Duselargemem for addressing very large chunks of memory (or maybe Perl

Indeed - that was the basis of my incoherently phrased question:
-Duselargemem?
$uselargeptr?  What will the config.sh variable be named?  Does it already
exist?
