I use ptrace and I don't recall seeing the 512 limit in our man pages on
4.2.  Are you sure you are working with the Bizerkley documentation?  I did
a hand comparison of System V.2 and 4.2BSD man pages and couldn't find any
substantive differences (they are both poorly written though).

We don't have VAX 'definitions' for word.  We also haven't touched
our 4.2 online man page for it.  This is what it says in part:

     3   The word of the system's per-process data area
         corresponding to _a_d_d_r is returned.  _A_d_d_r must be even
         and less than 512.  This space contains the registers
         and other information about the process; its layout
         corresponds to the _u_s_e_r structure in the system.

would you kindly get with the program, steve?  i see you found
paragraph 3 of the ptrace man page.  now read the rest of it,
in particular the paragraph that states, once again now, real
slow-like, read my lips:

	On a VAX-11, "word" also means a 32-bit integer, but the
	"even" restriction does not apply.

got that?
