xenix version differences? 2.2.3 vs 2.3.2 -- kernel size bug?

I have two Xenix machines running side by side that behave slightly
different on certain occasions. Here's what I've got.
80386/33 SCO Xenix 386 2.2.3
80386/25 SCO Xenix 386 2.3.3
I am being told by my accounting software vendor that I need to increase
my NFILES, NINODE, and NFLOCKS counts in my kernel to a large number
(300, 300, and 400 respectively). I can increase SOME of these but if ALL
of them are increased it appears that I increase kernel size too much.
I realize that these settings take up part of user memory. Both machines
have 8 MB of RAM and LOTS of cards and drivers in them.
When I increase the counts, relink the kernel, and re-boot the machine,
it cycles after the
Boot
:
prompt and never boots the kernel. This, in the past, has been remedied
by replacing the /boot program with a new boot routine with proper
delays. This doesn't appear to be the case.
Does anyone have a clue as to what this might be? I notice that when I
change these parameters on the 2.3.2 machine the kernel's total size
increases (>640K to start). When on 2.2.3 it appears that the kernel
size remains the same. Am I hitting a limit in this version of
Xenix or is there something that might be amuck?
