Thanks to Casper Dik and Kevin Sheehan.
Both pointed out that 3GB data area is already close to the limit you can
have under Solaris 2.6 (4 GB). Should have realised this, our applications
with their huge memory needs are probably in need of Solaris 2.7 as
suggested by Kevin.
Nevertheless, adding entry "ulimit -d unlimited" in "/etc/profile" gives the
desired
"unlimited" output when typing "ulimit -d" at shell prompt.
