The data segment size, maximum memory size, and virtual memory size are all 
unlimited, so the O/S isn't preventing you from obtaining as much memory as you 
can, so the 4 GB mmap(2) system-call should have worked. Odd.

I've attached a C file that, if compiled into a program, will tell you how much 
memory can be allocated. You might try it.

Because the server is a "dead end", you should ensure that the 
"/reconciliation-mode" parameter is set to "decrease maximum latency" (e.g., 
"regutil -s 'decrease maximum latency' /reconciliation-mode").
