SYSTEM-SPECIFIC HINTS
+for NetBSD:
+ NetBSD 2.0 and above are required because of the lack of needed
+ signal APIs in NetBSD 1.6 and earlier.
+
for OpenBSD:
OpenBSD 3.0 has stricter ulimit values, and/or enforces them more
strictly, than its predecessors. Therefore SBCL's initial mmap()
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.
