Ok, I've noticed a problem with truncate_sigbus_versus_oom. On a G5
running 2.6.19-rc5, with 200 hugepages allocated, I get:

truncate_sigbus_versus_oom 200 (32):    FAIL    mmap() reserving all pages
truncate_sigbus_versus_oom 200 (64):    ./run_tests.sh: line 30:  8482 
Segmentation fault      PATH="obj$BITS:$PATH" 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:../obj$BITS" $ENV "$@"

But with only 100 hugepages allocated, I get:

truncate_sigbus_versus_oom 100 (32):    PASS
truncate_sigbus_versus_oom 100 (64):    PASS

Beyond the known truncate_above_4G issues, these are the only tests that
fail on the G5 with 200 hugepages allocated. Should we constrain the
maximum parameter sent to this test?

Thanks,
Nish
