Are you certain you don't have a low process ulimit that's being inherited?
If this is true it's an intolerable problem.  This is smaller than a
run-of-the-mill compressed tar or cpio archive containing a free program's
source: (perl, dmake, RCS, etc.)

Most 386 boards only handle 16 megabytes.  (I.e., the support circutry only
can deal with that; obviously the i386 can address far more.)  Still, this
seems like a restriction that could be limiting, espcially with a multi-user
i486 system.
