do you a simple test case we can include ?


On x86-64 any such test would require more than 2**63 members in the
array. Not sure I'd want to run that....
It's impossible to write a test case for x86_64 because it's more like a 47-bit architecture.
Most of the array elements do not actually have to be present, so it should be possible to write a test on those architectures which can allocate more than half of the address space. 

Thanks,
