[] I have a program on the Next that I converted from a SUN binary long ago (0.9 days). It ran great until I updated to 2.0. Now it has the problem of running out of memory even when I set the limit to a very large number (using the csh limit command). I am confident in what I'm doing, because under 1.0 the program's virtual size could grow up to over 30 MB. Now (under 2.0) at about 8 MB it aborts with an out-of-memory error. This program (coming from the SUN world) uses sbrk to allocate more memory. The Next man pages say that it is not supported, but it _did_ work properly under 1.0. Why not under 2.0? Is there anything that I can do? I don't have the source to recompile. Even if I did have the source, what should sbrk be replaced with? Thanks in advance, Bruce Holmer holmer@ucbarpa.berkeley.edu
