[Valgrind-users] Valgrind 2.2.0 memcheck failure on RedHat 8.0

[<dou...@so...>]

I can't get valgrind 2.2.0 memcheck to work on RedHat 8.0:

Whatever program I try I always get the same response:

$ valgrind --tool=memcheck <program>
valgrind: Couldn't allocate address space for shadow memory
valgrind: Are you using a kernel with a small user address space,
valgrind: or do you have your virtual memory size limited?

$ valgrind --version
valgrind-2.2.0

$ uname -a
Linux rosalind.dev 2.4.18-14 #1 Wed Sep 4 13:35:50 EDT 2002 i686 i686 i386 
GNU/Linux

$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche)

The error occurs regardless of which program in passed to valgrind: 
/bin/true, /bin/ls, /bin/bash...

valgrind --tool=addrcheck works fine.

valgrind 2.0.0 works fine.
