Now that I see the man pages for softlimit (thanks Gerrit) and chpst, I
find that softlimit -a and chpst -m are almost identical. See below,

softlimit
-a n   Limit  the  total  of  all segments per process to n bytes.

chpst
-m bytes
        limit memory.  Limit the data  segment,  stack  segment,  locked
        physical  pages,  and  total of all segment per process to bytes
        bytes each.


So, out of curiousity why does chpst -m does not work?
