I'm using gcc with no special flags. I've got 64 MB of physical RAM and
250+ MB of swap. I tried increasing this with a swap file to ~500 MB,
but there's no difference. The vm exhausted error comes up usually
around the point where gcc (cc1) is eating about 120-130 MB of memory
(when I'm running gmake as root -- if I run it as a user, ulimit allows
no more than 60 MB of memory for a process).

Well, it's possible, but I do know that there are ports of Konqueror
(full) available as part of the KDE package for OpenBSD. Maybe I (or
you, if you have the time) should look at the patches for the KDE
OpenBSD port (
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/x11/kde/base2/patches/ ) and
see how that works?
