Still I think this brain-damage has already been implemented somewhere... maybe even at the brain-damage center at redmond ;) ... and it definitely was implemented for 32-bit memory addressing on 16-bit cpus ;)
Even another question: What are the current memory limits for x86 Linux (2.2.x) ? (ram, swap, address space?) ... pointers to information about the kazillion resource limits and extending/circumventing/wotever them would be appreciated too ;)
