sizeof(long) is 4 bytes on i686 GCC. With ~32 GiB of memory and a page size of 4096, there are 7988420 pages. (7988420 * 4096) is bigger than INT32_MAX folks. This has gone unnoticed for 9 years, and only came up thanks to 94ea517db[1] adding integer overflow sensitization checks, which caused this broken code to emit an illegal instruction, crashing Lix the instant the buildsystem ran Lix to generate the docs files.
