+ counts, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-
+ after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted
+ application on (1) a system with more than 32 Gb of memory, related to
+ the program reference count or (2) a 1 Tb system, related to the map
+ reference count.
