What is the size of your environment on this AIX system? How much does 'make' add to it? Are you using GNU make or the system one, and if the former, does the .NOEXPORT help at all, and if the latter, does it have a similar feature? If you control this AIX system, maybe you can increase the limit using chdev as described on Sven's page (for AIX 5)? Cheers, Ralf
