Hmm, then you probably need to start looking at other failure possibilities.
The segment that failed was requesting a size of about 38Gb.  Is it possible
that your virtual memory map doesn't actually have a hole that large?  That
would indicate a bug in the eal init path, since it searches for that.  Time to
start adding some printf and dumping your /proc/pid/maps file
