Janne, thanks for checking.  2_8**32+1 is 4GB+1byte of memory.
Without PAE, i686 is limited to less than 4GB once an OS grabs a
small portion of wired memory.  Do we care if an ICE occurs?
I suppose one could always check that a length type parameter
less than some max integer based on 32-bit vs 64-bit system, 
but that would pessimize all uses of strings as this would 
need to be a runtime check.
