Your session leader is exceeding its alloted memory. The "unlimit"
command described in the FAQ, at
<http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/index.html#unlimit> is a
ksh built-in (I think). The Bourne-shell equivalent is "ulimit -a",
and csh uses "limit". (See the man pages or docs for your shell.)
