There seem to be two effects at work:
1) VM is split (approx 1GB and 512MB) by default DSO address
assignments.
2) arena is being placed in the smaller of the two largest VM blocks.
Workarounds:
A) use PFSHAREDBASE to place the arena in the larger (~1GB) block.
B) move the DSOs to the bottom of VM using rqs, yielding one block of
~1.5GB.
C) use 64-bit addressing
It would be real nice if the OS would do the DSO packing automatically,
perhaps as part of swmgr/inst.

PS Many thanks to everyone involved in figuring this out
