huge process runs out of memory

        We have a memory pig that demands > 2GB of memory to run on our
    DU V3.0B 2100. We have 381119 pages (~3GB) of swap (deferred mode) and
    512MB of physical memory. My problem is in setting dfldsiz and maxdsiz
    parameters to anything over 2147483647. It does not work. If I try to
    set this size to just one more byte, I get negative numbers back from
    "sysconfig -q proc" for per-proc-data-size and max-per-proc-data-size.
    It seems that these parameters are stored as 32-bit signed integers?
    How do I get processes greater than 2GB to run? Surely lots of folks
    are running processes larger than this on DU Alpha boxes.
