Neale, I'm not sure this calculation makes sense. Each process has
its own address space, which is limited to 4 GB. I don't think it's
written anywhere that the combined address space must also fit in 4
GB. It must fit in swap space, sure, but you can configure that as
large as you want to. Or not?
