Greetings!  Great to hear from you Vadim!  Thanks so much for your
work with GCL.

Currently maxpage must be a power of 2 and <= 1Gb on 32bit Linux
unless one has a red hat enterprise kernel, then one can go up to 2gb,
but only with t4.  In any case, please try t4, you might have better
luck as some work was put in related to recent gcc compiler changes,
etc. 

On our todo list is a more flexible and robust memory allocation
strategy which does not constrain maxpages at compile time.  More n
this later.

Thanks!  Committed to cvs head.

We really need to overhaul this.  Others have made similar reports.
Its really a question of whether we hav the time to do it right, or
want to patch what we have.  automake is where we should be going.

Take care,
