I'd upgrade too, if it were my box. But the 16 megs is a software system
limit imposed by an ISP. See "ulimit -a".

I'm hoping to find a clever way to run MHonArc so that it needs
considerably less than 2,800 bytes of memory for each indexed message.
-savemem, -nomain and -nothread haven't done the trick.
