Subject: 386 maximum segment size of 16Mb

Hello again,

Has anybody noticed the problem compiling /sys/src/libtiff/tif_fax3.c on
a 386?  It seems 8c needs more than 16Mb of data space to build this one.

The real question, has anybody looked into increasing this limit?  (look
in /sys/src/9/pc/mem.h, SEGMEMSIZE, I think, set to 16.)

Thanks.
