Problem: 90MB swap allocated, max process allocable = 61424k This is a
very familiar problem to me.  If you have the Configuration Guide: Sun-3
Product Family (October 1986) look at table 3-9 on page 42.  For those who
don't have this guide, I will reproduce the table here:

	Swap Partition		Max Virtual
	Size (MB)		Address Space
	--------------		-------------
	6			4.3
	8			8.0		(typo??)
	24			16.3
	40			31.7
	100			61.4
	200			118.7

I have queried Sun several times about ways to expand the porportion of
swap space used by single process.  The current response is "not a problem
in 4.0".
