what happens when you try exceeding 2000? what message is printed, and by
what agent?
i'd guess that 16meg is the soft limit for some resource, and fortran
either does not use that resource or it's run-time requests an increase
(perhaps to the hard limit). you should probably: a) also ask in a solaris
related forum, e.g., comp.unix.solaris, and b) truss each process (fortran
and ada) to see if and how resource limits are being manipulated.
