Actually, it is limited by NMBCLUSTERS = (512 + MAXUSERS * 16) in conf/param.c
2.2-ALPHA works better, which NMBCLUSTERS can be (512 + 18 * 16)

On same motherboard, the limit can be changed when the CPU clock changes.
For example, on Intel PT-2000 motherboard, if CPU clock is 100 MHz, the
limit of the maxusers for NMBCLUSTERS could vary from 0, 3 - 15
(some Motherboard does not work at all).
Changing CPU clock up to 120 MHz, the limit will stay at 15. (2.2-SNAPs)

I thought that might be caused by page boundary, but it doesn't look like
according to the behaves above.  I will keep to track down the problem
further. In the meantime, if any one has some idea what could cause this
kind of problems, please let me know.

Thanks,
