I've got the following information from top:

| Load averages:  1.01, 1.03, 0.93
| 26 processes:  2 running, 23 sleeping, 1 stopped
| Cpu states:  5.7% user, 0.0% nice, 51.0% system, 0.0% intr, 43.3% idle
| Memory:  Real: 8104K/11M  Virt: 82M/4335M  Free: 296K
                       ^^         ^^
I even managed to change the 82M to about 120M!! (I have only 12 MB FAST
and 33 MB SWAP).

And why does the 11M sometimes changes to 10.5? I don't think the maximum
real memory can change without removing some RAM :-)

All information above was obtained just before NetBSD crashed (MMU
fault in very low memory conditions). I was running 3 xvs, loading each
a color JPEG of 1700x1670 pixels, so that seems reasonable...

Greetings,
