If I got bc to work right, and put in the right numbers :-) then:
2x10^12 == 2^40.86313713864834817486
4x10^12 == 2^41.86313713864834817488

So, given round-down, I'd say Doug's using a 41 bit kvm space and a 42 bit 
user space.

(In hex, that'd be KVM == 0x20000000000 and user == 0x40000000000)

Cheers,
-Peter
