Hi.

Thanks to all who sent me their ideas so far.

As suggestd by Nick Hill, I added the following items to
/etc/sysconfigtab:

vm:
        vm-maxvas = 2147483648
 
proc:
        max-per-proc-address-space = 2147483648
        max-per-proc-data-size = 2147483648
        max-per-proc-stack-size = 268435456

and rebooted. This sets the hard limit for virtual memeory to
2 Gbyte. However, the soft limit for the user is still 1 Gbyte,
and the user can't change it.

Using the kerneltuner (/usr/bin/X11/dxkerneltuner), i checked out
that the Boot Time Value for vm_maxvas is 2 Gbyte, but the Current
Value is only 1 Gbyte.

So I rebuilt the kernel, but that did not work. Certainly, I have
overlooked something...

Any Idea?
