AIX/370 does run under VM/XA, but as I understand it the theoretical
upper limit to process size is currently 764M or thereabouts.  This
is still theoretical, since it is my understanding that AIX as a VM
does not autolog above 512M or thereabouts.  Would one of you developers
care to comment on this and/or set me straight as the case may be?
