JLRU is "Just Like *Real* Unix". Unix systems require that the disk
space for a program's virtual memory be allocated immediately when
the program is started rather than being allocated only as it is
first accessed by the program. Unix does this to make certain that
a program doesn't die in the middle of its execution due to a lack
of disk space. Either the program will refuse to start, or it will
grab the maximum amount of disk space it could use and then start
and run to completion.
