  These are options are in GENERIC now, so no need to rebuild.

  All of these are setable via sysctl now.  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.
