Number of components per init

[Roman Iten]

Hi Norman

Thanks for the insights. I still don't understand why init's(?) quota 
exceeds. I get the warning no matter of the presence of the "overly 
large quantum". Is this behavior intended?

- How big is the initial quota of init?

- Can I change that quota - or only the preserved slack memory?

- If not - is there another way to prevent the "Quota exceeded!" 
warning?

- Does the size of the metadata allocation for a child depends on 
whether I'm using a 32 or 64 bit system?

- Is a scenario with 19 or more components within one init considered 
'large'?

Thanks,
Roman
