Memory Locking On 64-Bit Release 6.3

[Frank Mitchell]

My machine is an Economy Model, with 512 Meg RAM, including 64 Meg which is 
taken by Shared Video Memory, leaving 448 Meg usable.

But my program requirements are modest too. I'm developing 2  Root-Privileged 
Console Executables, each around 100 KB, using a total of 11 Shared Memory 
buffers, each 256 KB.
