Humm, other than not allowing sizes greater than 4G-(2*PAGE_SIZE), I'm
not sure how we solve that. I guess avoiding sizes of (n*4G -
PAGE_SIZE) would avoid the problem. Seems like almost 4GB executable
buffer should be enough for anyone(TM).

Yeah, I was just going worry about that when we had a second bit to pass.
