SubjectCannot run binaries with memory allocations over 554 MB
Hello,

I'm running SuSE 6.3, using a kernel 2.2.13 with "CONFIG_2GB" set to "y"
on my dual PIII box. Trying to start binaries which allocate more memory
than 554 MByte, I get an segmentation fault. For example the strace
output of the stream benchmark with parameter n set to 24220000 looks
like:

execve("./stream_linux", ["./stream_linux"], [/* 66 vars */]) = 0
--- SIGSEGV (segmentation fault) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

My linux box however has 1 GByte memory installed, which is reported
correctly by utilities like top etc...

2:59pm up 5:48, 4 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05
64 processes: 62 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 1 stopped
CPU states: 0.1% user, 2.2% system, 0.0% nice, 97.5% idle
Mem: 1036336K av, 180660K used, 855676K free, 21864K shrd, 20968K
buff
Swap: 1052216K av, 528K used, 1051688K free 60528K
cached


Any regards are welcomed

/Herbert
