Why, do you only run one program at a time? OpenBSD doesn't cope
amazingly well with over-allocating memory..Think of these limits as
protection against problems rather than as a restriction to stop you
doing things.

See the dma_constraint stuff in particular.

- if datasize limits are too high I think you need to start fiddling
with -Xmx to stop it using too much.
