I just ran into a very strange error running instiki 0.13, and
managed to figure out the fix. The error shows up as a NoMemoryError,
and apparently only happens on amd64 machines:
NoMemoryError (negative allocation size (or too big)):

The fix is described here:
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/8355
I suppose future versions of instiki will get this fix for free by
bundling newer rails versions.
