A customer asks, is it possible increase the working set size of a
process on vmsalpha to more than 32 megabytes ?
He says it is not possible on a vax, but asks about alpha.

On Alpha, prior to V7.0, the absolute maximum was 512 MB.
As of V7.0, the working set quota is still restricted to 512 MB, but
the maximum you can achieve via WSEXTENT is now 4 GB.
As of V7.1, you can also use huge memory resident sections that are not
paged and are not counted against your working set.
