What is the maximum process size in the various 386-SYSVR4s?
My ESIX 3.2 has a limit of 32MB per user process (the MAXUMEM kernel
parameter connot be larger than 8192).
While this seems large, there are applications like symbolic computations
(Reduce, Macsyma, etc) which may require more address space.
What's the value for 386BSD?

Robert
