I don't have the original article but you can get more mileage from
your memory if you use
limit datasize unlimited (this works only in csh)
or alternatively use a C proggie to set the limit using setrlimit,eg.
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>
main()
{
struct rlimit tmp;
tmp.rlim_cur=RLIM_INFINITY;
tmp_rlim_max=RLIM_INFINITY;
setrlimit(RLIMIT_DATA,&tmp);
}
Hope this helps,
Ji.
