Ok, so the hard limit is set to 25MB, which may be a bit low for some vaxen.
I don't know how to change it at compile time, but you should be able to bump
it if you're root.
I think you could bump it for all sessions by bumping init's one in the
startup scripts (e.g set in /etc/rc.local:
sysctl -w proc.curproc.rlimit.datasize.hard=67108864
to have a 64M hard limit). Then regular users should be able to bump the soft
limit up to 64M.
