Well, I finally got around to upgrading from TeX 2.991 to 3.0 on our
Apollos.  The trip test failed dismally if I had optimising on, so I
turned it off and rexompiled, and the trip test was passed all right
(just as was the case with Version 2.991).  So, optimizing still off,
I compiled the production version of TeX, and:

% initex plain '\dump'
This is TeX, C Version 3.0 (INITEX)
(/usr/local/lib/tex/inputs/plain.tex
Preloading the plain format: codes, registers, parameters, fonts,
more fonts, macros, math definitions,
Runaway definition?

Now, obviously, something is very wrong with that memory size!
tex/ctex.ch says @!mem_max=262140; and TeX thinks it has 3000?

Can any TeX source guru out there give me a hint?  I don't even know
where to start looking for the source of this problem.  Help!

The boring details:
Hardware: Apollo DN10000
Operating system: sr10.3 / bsd4.3
Compiler: cc v.6.8.p
