Yes, thanks, that sounds like a good idea.  Can you please test the
following patch, which I just installed?  It's not easy for me to test
something on HP-UX 11.00.  Thanks.

        * tests/torture.at (AT_INCREASE_DATA_SIZE): Skip the test if
        the data size is known to be too small and we can't increase it.
        This works around an HP-UX 11.00 glitch reported by Andrew Benham.
