Mainboard: P4P800/SE with P4-2.8CG and 4G RAM

>Description:
When running squid allocated more than 3G memory, the squid will crash.
I have tuned the kernel with MAXDSIZ=(3072UL*1024*1024) and KVA_PAGES=192.

If I enlarged the MAXDSIZ > 3072, the system cannot boot with error message:
(after loading kernel, running init)
init in malloc(): error: recursive call
init in malloc(): error: recursive call
...

>How-To-Repeat:

set the kernel with: 

options		MAXDSIZ=(3200UL*1024*1024)
options		KVA_PAGES=192

>Fix:

No idea.
