Hello again Dave!
I just tested this on my machine and for some reason it doesn't work with
too big values (different error messages at different levels).
Here are my observations of the limits:
Windows (real 512M maximum Paging file size 1536): 1470M
Linux (real 128M swap area 780M): 1850M
Linux (real 192M swap area 292M WMWare within the Windows machine above):
2632M
This is probably not an as simple issue as I thought. Perhaps we should
stick to 512M as the default.
