The users on my system would like to have 12 MB processes for some
large simulation programs.  (I have a VAX 11/780 with 4MB of memory.)
I followed the "Operating/Installing
4.1BSD" instructions, which say to increase MAXTSIZ, MAXDSIZ, and
MAXSSIZ in sys/h/vmparam.h.  Whenever a process gets bigger than
about 8 Meg, the system crashes.  I'm using interleaved swap to get
2 hp?b sections of swap space, and I don't get an out of swap space
message.
Has anybody successfully done this?  What should I check?  Any help
will be much appreciated.
