The RAM_HIGH_ADDRESS parameter is used in a bootable VxWorks image'
confioguration as well as in the BSP's makefile and config.h. This
bootable VxWorks image's value of RAM_HIGH_ADDRESS is inhereted from
the BSP on which a bootable VxWorks image is based but it does not
get changed automagically in the bootable VxWorks image's project
when you change this value in the BSP. It may be that you need to
change this to get things working well. I forget exactly where this
is configured, but you can find it using the find object dialog as
described in section 4.4.3 of the Tornado Users Guide.
