- Thanks for the warning, but the way I wrote it should be robust. If
- Executor fails to open /proc/meminfo, or fails to find a "Mem:" entry,
- it defaults to the old behavior (2MB applzone). I haven't tested
- that, since all of our Linux boxes have /proc, but the code is very
- simple.

- As under DOS, "executor -info" under Executor/Linux will tell you how
- much memory Executor decided to allocate for you.
