Increasing rsbtbl_size to 4096 or higher results in FSes refusing to 
mount and clvm refusing to start - both with "cannot allocate memory"

At 2048, it works, but gfs_controld and dlm_controld exited when I tried 
to mount all FSes on one node as a test.

At 1024 it seems stable.

The other settings seemed to have applied OK. So far, reports are 
positive (but it's quiet at the moment)

I've got a strace of clvmd trying to start with rsbtbl_size set to 4096. 
Should I post it here or would you prefer it mailed direct?
