That reports:

core file size (blocks)     unlimited
data seg size (kbytes)      1048576
file size (blocks)          unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes)  250256
max memory size (kbytes)    250256
open files                  1772
pipe size (512 bytes)       1
stack size (kbytes)         32768
cpu time (seconds)          unlimited
max user processes          532
virtual memory (kbytes)     1081344

So, why can I not raise my memory size past 250256?
