Summary: How do I increase the DATASIZE limit beyond 32 Meg
Sender: news@train.ufh.ac.za (News System Admin.)

Dear Net,

There is a need from a user for setting the limit of the DATASIZE to more
than the "hard" ceiling of 32M. How do I do it? Setting "limit -h data 64m"
has no effect, even if I'm logged in as su. Can I do it by reconfiguring 
the kernel?

thanks in advance,
Inus
