MAXDSIZ is the maximum data size limit, but the default limit is
lower... if you're using csh or tcsh, use "limit" to display the current
resource limits, and "unlimit" to raise everything to the maximum. If
you're using sh, I think it's "ulimit -a" to display limits, and "ulimit
-d a_number" to set the datasize limit to a_number.
