Ordinarily/usually not, but it can effect VL Getmains. If an application does 
an unlimited VL Getmain and is then unable to handle (the huge amount) what it 
received, this problem might be the result.

I am testing SMFLIMxx and planning to make regionsizes Unlimited, hoping to 
help applications a little. So I am very interested in what mal-coded software 
might hang around.
