Most likely malloc() is using mmap(MAP_ANON) for its arena, and that's
using space from the architectural VM limits that is outside what is
permitted for the size of  the program and its stack (MAXDSIZ) - as
MAXDSIZ gets bigger, the remaining space before the architectural limit
is reached gets smaller.
