It's the same almost everywhere.

See my other mail.  It means nearly every linux box gets only 131072  
bytes (32 pages * 1024 bytes per kbyte * 4 kbytes per page) for the 
environment and the command line plus arguments.

In our case, we suspect it means that centos going nuts with @INC 
entries combined with our unoptimized @INC remembering mechanism causes 
us to run into the brick wall defined by the kernel.
