Re the mystery of why the process AST quota starts at 100 even
though AUTHORIZE says ASTLM is 24...  There is a sysgen parameter
PQL_MASTLM (which AUTOGEN seems to set to 100) that sets the
minimum AST quota for a created process.  So unless you push
the AUTHORIZE ASTLM above 100, you won't change anything.  (Or
play with reducing PQL_MASTLM, it's dynamic.)
