You sure about the 500k ?

According to the documentation the value of memlock is in KB which would
make the above value almost 500MB.

Anyway, I have set this value to 4000000 (which IMO is almost 4GB) and
I also get this warning (my system has 2GB of RAM).

So the question is whether the PAM documentation is wrong and memlock
is not given in KB ?
Or is Ardour raising a false alarm ?

Best,
Michael
