What restricts the size of static and automatic and allocated
memory size in 386BSD.

Even I increased the constants defined in the vmparam.h,

It seems the bss setion cannot be exceeded than 128MB.

I need large allocation of virtual memory for a program.

Please give me the short lecturing of the restricstions

assumed inside the current 386bsd0.1.

Thank you.
