See this bug: http://handhelds.org/~bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=650 You are right. We should try to set this on a per machine basis since handhelds like h5550 have 128MB of RAM and hx4700 have framebuffers with quite a bit of mmapable space. But the current glibc default setting of 128kiB is way too high for any iPAQ gen before it. It was set by distro because familiar deemed it necessary for release and did not want to pollute OZ builds. We were trying to be nice about regressions associated to it. Feel free to take a stab at per-machine settability if you want to use the fix now for OZ et al. I will probably get around to it for the familiar 0.9 release. But don't hold your breath.
