Actually, this is because of a bug in alpha/machdep.c. MSGBUF_SIZE is 32K by default now, and the alpha machdep.c code assumes that anything other than PAGE_SIZE is an allocation error. I'm not sure what's right, I've been tempted to comment out the printf. It seems there are two different variables in use for the same thing, but one is out of date.
