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?
