and i can't help it but this has been nipping at me ever since i read it the 
first time...

1. why "of course"??

2. i would try the 32bit load and see what happens there... 64bit stuff takes at 
least twice the space and may be half as fast depending on factors...

[anecdote: we have seen that 64bit doesn't offer an advantages in our 
environments... at best there's twice as much resources needed for roughtly the 
same load and half the speed as well... we've just not been able to truly 
justify the 64bit builds of the firewall we work with but for some reason 
everyone thinks that 64bit is better than the tried, tested and true 32bit stuff...]

with that stated, i would seriously consider testing the 32bit load of SO and 
ensure that it is at least using the PAE kernel so that all that memory is 
recognized and used...

what can it hurt, really? ;)
