I compiled the xrn from agate, with the 386BSD patches and it compiled
fine but it uses a LOT of virtual memory. Initially I got
% xrn
xrn: X Toolkit Error: Cannot perform malloc
xrn: X Toolkit Error: Cannot perform malloc
%
so I set unlimited limits and eventually it started up. A ps -avx shows
a VSZ value of 12372!!!
Is anyone actually using this??
