FUD. Period. On my system mozilla's (as an example of shlib heavy app) shared libraries occupy (with holes) 0x40000000-0x417bc000 == 0x17bc000 == 24887296 ~= 23.7 MB. What's the problem allocating libraries at e.g. 0x8000000? Or 0xa0000000? -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
