On recent releases (certainly SR9.5 and beyond) you're "doing something
stupid" if you use set_sbrk_size in the first place.  It's currently
a no-op, provided only for backward compatibility (Yes, they really do
fix things that people complain about).

If you are running an old release, you might check the man page.  I recall
there was an environment variable you could set (SBRK_SIZE or somesuch)
instead of hacking up your application's code.

Cheers,
