I have 16M of RAM on my 486 running NetBSD-0.9.
I am however unable to run any but the smallest programs on it.
If the total memory requirement goes above 500kb or so, i simply get a
segmentation fault and core dump.
The same programs run without problems on my IPC (which has only 8M).

What should i do to get my machine working right?
