Thanks.  My guess is that (part of) the reason for the very deep=20
recursion is that it's trying to allocate a block of  len=3D8247 =20
bytes, when the page size is only 8192:
#3244 0x00070958 in CDB___memp_alloc (dbmp=3D0xa98c30, memreg=3D0xa99f60,=
=20
mfp=3D0xc84e98, len=3D8247, offsetp=3D0x0, retp=3D0xbfffd900) at=20
mp_alloc.c:88

I used to get the error
    Unable to allocate %lu bytes from mpool shared region
at some stage too, which is generated inside  CDB___memp_alloc.  From=20
memory, that was when I was using 1.1.3.

If that is really the problem, it can be fixed by testing explicitly=20
whether  len>pagesize  (if the pagesize is available somewhere...).
