Hi,
In an attempt to update the Solaris and OpenIndiana Cog and Stack VM (OpenSmalltalk), I have encountered a new issue.
It is as if the "memory footprint" (RAM required by Cog VM) has increased.
Both Cog VM 2985 and Stack VM 2984 compile and link in 32bit and 64bit on Solaris11.3, Solaris11.4 and OpenIndiana.
But on a system with 3GB RAM cog VM fails to start, and same thing on a different system with 10GB of RAM.
On a Solaris 11.4 system with 16GB RAM cog VM is starting.
So it is as if 16GB is now required ?!

Problem in 32 bit on the systems with 3GB and 10GB of RAM:
$ sqcogspursunosht/usr/bin/squeak $HOME/squeak/v5/Squeak6.0alpha-19843-32bit.image sqAllocateMemory: initial alloc failed!
and in 64bit :
$ sqcogspur64sunosht/usr/bin/squeak $HOME/squeak/v5/Squeak6.0alpha-20535-64bit.image sqAllocateMemorySegmentOfSizeAboveAllocatedSizeInto mmap: Not enough space sqAllocateMemory: initial alloc failed!
Any idea what is going on here please for the "oscog-eem.2985" Cog VM please ?
The Stack VM still seems to work fine.
Please note that in terms of compilation the Cog VM 2985 compiles fine for me, it is just that the binary that is produced quits on startup.
Also it is strange that the Cog VM 2985 starts and works fine on the system with 16GB of RAM.
Note that Cog VM 2967 did not have this issue and was very stable (works and worked fine).
