:brk() or sbrk() to return memory to IRIX.

This problem was new to SGI, but they have isolated the problem
and found a work-around already. To get around this problem,
remove the eoe.sw.jlimits subsystem, autoconfig, and reboot.

[Note: be sure to do the autoconfig yourself, as IRIX does not
automatically notice the removal of the kernel object file.]

So, if you do not need job limits, then you should be able to
use IDL on IRIX 6.5.10f.
