	Hum. The tcsh/csh way to unlimit all resources is 'unlimit'. For
	sh/bash you probably need
		ulimit -d `ulimit -H -d`
		ulimit -m `ulimit -H -m`
		ulimit -s `ulimit -H -s`

	If gcc runs out of memory is tends to crash with an internal
	error.

	There are a _few_ binary packages available for NetBSD/vax 1.6.1
	ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.6.1/vax/All/

	They tend to lag the release a little as it take some time to
	get them all compiled :)
