I reported this panic last summer when I started writing the Meteor driver. THe work around I used wast to start the allocation starting at the first Meg mark, at that time I speculated it was treating the low memory and the first meg as being contiguous even though there is a memory hole between them. Starting contiguous allocation at/after the first meg never caused anymore panics, so I left it at that. --mark.
