Hello,
there are other configuration parameters which have to be set. On
our machine we also set

	maxdsiz	98
	maxtsiz	98
	maxssiz	98

which - if I remember correctly - give the maximum allowed datat size,
text size (program code size) and stack size. Be sure that your swap
partition is large enough! (and don't forget to rebuild the kernel...)
