By choosing a malloc size of 1MB in your test program, you just happened 
to pick the worst possible case for malloc chunk fragmentation (50% 
utilization).  In reality, the reason that you hit a limit of 697 on 
i386 is that you used pretty much the entire mmap()able address space 
(2*697MB == 1394MB).  On i386, jemalloc switches from sbrk() to mmap() 
when heap space runs out.
