That’s an “easy one”: you have to turn off the preallocation and run lazy memory allocation.

“Digital UNIX has two paging modes, lazy and conservative. Conservative means that paging space is allocated as memory is allocated, guaranteeing that there is always somewhere to page to. This limits VM to the size of the paging partitions, but makes for a very robust system. Lazy is more like what people are used to with Unix - paging space is allocated when needed for paging out, you can run more jobs, but you're in big trouble when everything fills up. By default, Digital UNIX comes up in the conservative mode. Removing theswapdefaults file changes the system to lazy mode.”
