Um, do you really need more than 400MB worth of nodes? It's a sanity
check in src/unix/sys-common.c

#define Max_Nsize 20000000      /* must be < LONG_MAX (= 2^32 - 1 =)
                                   2147483647 = 2.1e9 */

..so if you really need it it can be upped by about two orders of
magnitudes, but you'd have to recompile.
