Here's one for OpenBSD.

Indeed.  With increased data segment limit and larger stack both have
passed their giant test.

However, nqthm grew to about 200MB, to the point where it did nearly
no progress at all as the system was only swapping.  (I have 256MB of
RAM)  I killed the process, and started the makefile again to let it
pick up where it stopped.  Is this expected behaviour of nqthm, or
could it be a GCL bug?
