[erlang-questions] why each erlang process sets 233 words as its default heap size?

[Jeremy Chow]

Hi all,
      My first instinction is that it want to club together with one process
size  to reach exactly 1024 bytes . But each process has more than 1024/4
-233 = 23 words size .
      What's the author's original intention? why each erlang process  sets
233 words as  its default heap size?

Thx,
Jeremy
