Apparently the JavaScript implementation is storing private data in 
the high bits of 64-bit pointers.  This works "fine" for Linux but 
Solaris did not follow the same rules.  The "set 
_userlimit=0x7fffc0000000" contrains the address space allowed for 
processes in order to not interfere with the JavaScript 
implementation's private data.

Just repeating what I saw elsewhere. :-)
