memory allocation problem

[Jacek Klos]

Dear Molpro-Users

I appologize for bothering, but I solved already my problem.
Under Tru64 unix there is a hard limit on datasize equal to 1GB almost.
One needs to set up new values for kernel parameters which set hard limits
for datasize and stacksize (limit command reports current values).
After running dxkerneltuner on DEC alpha one has to change
max_per_proc_data_size to bigger hard limit and per_proc_data_size to
maximal value allowed without unlimit command under csh.
Both parameters are in proc option of dxkerneltuner menu.
Now after applying changes and rebooting system got new values and
larger request of RAM was possible.
I hope this message will help DEC fans.

WARNING!
Messing with kernel options is a great risk.
I am NOT responsible of any data nor system damage resulted by reading
this help  and in doubts I advise to contact Tru64 Compaq Support.
Plese, be sure you know what you are doing while changing kernel
parameters.

Best regards
