RE:RE: memory allocation error

Clay and Patrik replied on my previous message concerning maxdsize. They pointed out that this parameter is set in bytes. However, when I use command "sysdef" on my HP_UX it has a column called UNITS. I can see that the maxdsize is expressed in pages rather than bytes. In addition, when I type "ulimit -a", I get the info: "data(kbytes) unlimited". As far as I understood this message tells that the maxdsize is set to the maximum value allowed.

maxdsize is in bytes, and the value (data) from ulimit -a is 1024 * maxdsize.
