Hi Mr Szilagyi

Even when we put the vmemoryuse unlimited we get 524288, and here is the
results of swap -l and swap -s.

indigo%  swap -l
lswap path         dev    pri swaplo   blocks     free  maxswap    vswap
    2 /.swap.virtual
                 128,16     2      0        0        0        0   600000
    1 /dev/swap
                 128,17     0      0   260696   260696   260696        0

indigo% swap -s
total: 0.00k allocated + 63.27m add'l reserved = 63.27m bytes used, 480.90m
bytes available
indigo% limit
cputime         unlimited
filesize        unlimited
datasize        524288 kbytes
stacksize       65536 kbytes
coredumpsize    unlimited
memoryuse       122308 kbytes
descriptors     200
vmemoryuse      524288 kbytes


Thank you very much
