Wasn't that 224MB for 040/060?

That's just the text segment of cc1 and cc1plus. But I wonder what happens
with the dynamically linked text segments from all the shared objects? Do
we have to add their sizes?

In my understanding the current 224MB pmap limit makes that useless.
And from the comment in vmparam.h I though this is just the initial
value, which will be dynamically extended?

Sounds promising.
Maybe mhitch will read this some day. I am volunteering. :)
