As far as I can tell, only in the source :) Like in
/usr/include/machine/vmparam.h

BTW, I had the same problem with gdb running out of memory when I tried
to debug mozilla w/debugging symbols... trying again with a kernel with
the max datasize bumped up to 128MB didn't give any out of memory
errors, but my machine thrashed itself to death and I had to reboot it
:( I guess 36MB of physical RAM isn't enough for something like that :)
I ended up using gdbserver on the Mac and gdb compiled as a
cross-debugger on my pentium (64MB RAM... it didn't seem to have any
problems)
