I agree that commenting out these options will probably help, but
he is most definitely not consuming the lower 16M of memory...

What's probably happening is that when he tries to allocate one of
these insanely huge submaps, the VM code can't find an appropriate
place for them in the kernel_map, and thus reports failure.
