Hi Davide,

I think you may have stumbled across an incomplete patch. -jxms, -jxmx etc
are present in Amber 11 but not yet Amber 10. They exist to provide better
user control over maximum memory allocation to JVMs launched from within
sander.PUPIL.

I think the best solution is for my PUPIL colleagues and I to prepare a
further patch for Amber 10. I can't say when that will be done; I'm out of
the office at the moment and return to work in early January. I'm happy to
notify you of the new patch if you would find that helpful. If a new patch
isn't possible, I'll try to come up with another way forward for you.

Best regards,

Ben Roberts
