tinydns is run as:
exec envuidgid tinydns envdir ./env softlimit -d300000 \
/usr/local/bin/tinydns

The -d option for softlimit is described on the manpage as: "Limit the
data segment per process to n bytes."


I wonder what change in -current caused 300000 bytes to no longer be
enough for the data segment.  This is a hard-coded limit that is supposed
to work on all OS's...
