Hi Gurus,

 Recently I posted about a memory error I got when trying to allocate
 a very large array. I got back many responses. Mainly, use the limit
 command to increase datasize and stacksize. This does solve the problem
 but not for the webserver spawned processes. I really need the webserver
 to allocate such arrays for data plots so I need to change the system
 defaults.

 The other solution [the one i need]was to increase maxssiz and maxdsiz
 in the conf file. I did this: changed maxssiz 2^25 (33554432) to 2^26
 (67108864) and maxdsiz was changed from 2^30 (1073741824) to 2^31
 (2147483648). However, the system won't boot with the new kernel.

 How logically can I raise maxssiz and maxdsiz? I thought going to the next
 power would be a good choice. I really need to solve this soon so any
 help is greatly appreciated. I'll summerize.

Thanks,
Steve McLaughlin
