Increase the value of 'st_pool_size'. You can do it through the kernel
config file (options "ST_POOL_SIZE=<number of pages>") or through the
binpatch program on the kernel image. The binpatch program is available
in the dir. .../arch/atari/utils.NetBSD . Don't forget to supply also
the option '-o 8192' when binpatching the kernel.

For the record:

The use of the '-o' option on the kernel is still not in the manual, it's
still pending :-( .  I found the cause of it's need however.
The kernel is linked as an NMAGIC executable and '-T 0'. The macro's in
sys/exec_aout.h assume a '-T 8192' - which is the default.  I don't know
how this can be solved, because the text address is not recorded in the
aout header. I must admit however that I haven't looked very hard...
