That isn't enough info to be useful. Also, I suspect that you got a "reloc" error not "Realloc" error. The changed.Cygnus file shows that this parameter was changed on 1999-11-06 by cygnus from 0x10000000 to 0x10000, which was the original value was wondering if anyone knew why this changed occurred, and if undoing the change is I did will cause any problems? I don't recall exactly what it was. I believe it had something to do with how physical and virtual addresses in an executable got allocated. With the smaller page size, I think we either got smaller executables (less padding) or smaller load images (less wasted virtual address space). Or maybe it was done because the resulting executables could be loaded more efficiently. It should be visible if you look at the resulting executable. In any case, we aren't going to change it back unless we get some explanation of why the original value is better than the current value, so I need a better explanation of what is going on, or a better bug report.
