In article <7237@cs.utexas.edu> I wondered:

>Can one not use malloc() and -lpps in the same program?

The problem is that private bss is limited to 64k when
using shared memory, so malloc() will fail if used
to allocate any substantial amount of private memory.

A possible workaround is to increase private bss with 
the -Z switch to ld(1).
