Re: Segfaults when compiling with more memory

[Johnny Billquist <bqt%update.uu.se@localhost>]

I've noticed similar issues before. It's not a problem with simh, but 
with NetBSD.

Using the 8650 model, disk controllers (UDA50) stopped working with more 
than 128M (I think that is the limit I discovered). Using VMS, it works 
fine with 512M of memory.
