Hi,

I have installed NetBSD 1.3.3 on our DECStation 5000/240 . It works fine,
no problems with compilation of software. But when number of processes is
higher than 128 (approx.) it crashes with "vm_fork: no more kernel virtual
memory" (dmesg is appended below) .
I tried increase NMBCLUSTERS and NKMEMCLUSTERS without effect.
Could somebody help me? I have not experiences with kernel building.
Thanks.
