Yeah, that's an indication that you've hit the mentioned problem
(addresses of allocated memory too far apart).

If my mmap "fix" (not guaranteed to work with all kernels) is in the
executing runtime, then, I'm afraid, there is little you can do other
than switching to a CVS-version of the upcoming OCaml-release. Xavier
has implemented a completely new page table representation there,
which should solve this problem once and for all.
