Hi

Thanks to all who responded on the shared arena size. However, all the good
suggestions didn't help.
I've set rlimit_rss_max and rlimit_rss_cur to 768 MB. The other 4 parameters
mentioned (rlimit_data_max , rlimit_data_cur , rlimit_vmem_max , rlimit_vmem_cur )
are set to huge values. Still, the shared arena size won't go over 512MB.
Any suggestions ?
