I neglected to mention that this machine had already been tuned
as per "Tuning Compaq Tru64 UNIX for Internet Servers":
http://www.unix.digital.com/internet/tuning.htm
Dr. Tom Blinn responded to my post:

While these vm values were set as per tuning.htm,
I found that the proc entry "per-proc-address-space" was set to
1073741824
instead of 10737418240, though one wiser than I would have to say if
that
were relevant.
