  I'd already upped MAXDSIZ to 128*1024*1024 four years ago.  Do you
suspect that this still isn't enough? I've tried the shmget call in my
test case with a size arg as low as 0x100.  No good.  I don't know how
that relates to the calls to mmap(), though (I'm not calling mmap()
explicitly).

  Any other thoughts?

  I'd prefer not to have to try it under -current, if I can avoid that,
since this machine is a web-server/DNS server/Mail server/shell server
that I use heavily (it still has 36M of free RAM and 380M of free
swap, so I imagine physical memory is not my problem).  (And, by the
way, props to TNF, et. al. for letting me make an old 68k machine be
this useful).
