Wonderful!  Now we are getting somewhere.

Two experiments to try:

1) set your hugepages to 2MiB and configure && make with no options
2) set your hugepages to 1GiB, configure with the
--enable-min-pagewidth=21, and then before make do

echo #undef HAVE_MADVISE_HUGEPAGE >>h/config.h

Then make.

I suspect that even though the madvise call succeeds without error when
the pagesize mismatches your system pagesize, it is doing something bad
under the hood.

If both 1) and 2) succeed, then we just need to figure out how to
gracefully handle really huge hugepages.

Take care,
