I've repeated the tests with a 2.6.13.4 kernel with bs4 patch (http://www.dit.upm.es/vnuml/download/linux/linux-2.6.13.4-bs4-1m.bz2) and the behaviour seems much better:
- the limit raises from 232M to 370M - above 370M the vm does simply not start (just 6 log lines and after "Kernel virtual memory shrunk..." message it dies silently; no xterms opened) - again, no change when using "echo 131072 > /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count" command So, it seems the initial problem (vm stops on "Mounted devfs on /dev" message and 100% CPU) is solved in 2.6.13.
