The Sybase documentation acutally recommends certain minimum values. However, the problem is a signal 11 error, not an out of memory error. Sybase was very clear in its error messages to me that I didn't have enough segments available. Sybase 11.9.2 is only available for Linux right now, so make sure you use FreeBSD 4.1.1 with the newest Linux lib package. BTW, Sybase 11.9.2 is only free for development, not deployment.
