	Apparently proc.curproc.rlimit.{datasize,stacksize}.{soft,hard} =
268435456. These cannot be altered, neither increased nor decreased.
sysctl takes values without complaint, however upon checking them again,
they appear unchanged. This appears to hold true on both of my i386
machines, where datasize.hard is set to 1073741824 on both the 64mb and
1024mb machine with one and two gigabytes of swap, respectively.
Although it's rather pointless to do so, the 64mb machine can mount a
512mb mfs without issue.
	Do you happen to know how datasize.hard is limited? Am I missing some
understanding here? Meanwhile, I'll poke around the code to see what I
can find.

Thanks,
