  Just as a quick follow-up in case anyone else runs into this - Zoltan 
was absolutely right. The issue was that MONO_ARCH_NOMAP32BIT was not 
set (meaning that the JIT was assuming that all code would be in the 
lower 32 bit region), but the corresponding code to implement the 
MAP32BIT flag in the allocator didn't exist.

  Thus, setting MONO_ARCH_NOMAP32BIT has fixed everything (as far as I 
can tell!).

  Thanks again!
