There is only 1GB of P0 space regardless of page file quota, pagefiles, 
working set, day of week, phase of moon, etc.  When you hit that limit, 
LIB$GET_VM (which is what the compiler uses to allocate memory) will return 
an error.  You cannot put 10 pounds of er, bits in a 5 pound bag.

If you have a COBOL program that causes the compiler to allocate memory 
until it dies at /OPT=LEVEL=1, then the compiler team would like to see it. 
In the meantime, you have /NOOPT as a workaround.
