-for OpenBSD:
-  OpenBSD 3.0 has stricter ulimit values, and/or enforces them more
-  strictly, than its predecessors. Therefore SBCL's initial mmap()
-  won't work unless you increase the limit on the data segment from
-  the OpenBSD defaults, e.g. with
-    ulimit -S -d 1000000
-  before you run SBCL. Otherwise SBCL fails with a message like
-  "ensure_space: failed to validate xxxxxxx bytes at yyyyy". (SBCL
-  is just allocating this huge address space, not actually using this
-  huge memory at this point. OpenBSD <3.0 had no problem with this,
-  but OpenBSD 3.0 is less hospitable.)
-
-for Darwin:
-  PURIFY (which can be used alone but is also used by the system when
-  saving a new core) uses more stack than the default limit on MacOS
-  X.2.  Therefore, in order to get PURIFY to work reliably, you need
-  to increase the limit, with e.g.
-    limit stack 8192 # for the default shell, tcsh
-    ulimit -s 8192 # for bash
-  before running SBCL.  This is also necessary when building the system
-  from sources, as part of the build process involves saving a new core.
