Please take a look at the per-process limits depending on you login shell: 
  sh, bash, ksh, zsh:
    ulimit -dH
    ulimit -dS
  csh, tcsh:
    limit -h data
    limit data
You'll se the hard and soft limits, and you can raise the soft limit
as long as you don't exceed the hard limit (the latter one is set by
/etc/login.conf), e.g.:

  ulimit -dS 65536
or
  limit data 64m
set the data region size to 64 MB.

Probably netscape (espc 4.xx) allocates the maximum currently allowed.
