  Perhaps it only makes it succeed if you increase heap_chunk_in_mb until
that initial heap chunk is big enough?  Perhaps just because the memory map
gets re-arranged and dll_list::alloc manages to find a page in between the
dll and the heap?  You could always check it out in a debugger if you like;
I've got to leave this for the moment because I was doing that in my
lunchbreak, which is long over now :-(


    cheers,
