 *		There is no guarantee that allocations smaller than MaxAllocSize
 *		will succeed.  Allocation requests larger than MaxAllocSize will
 *		be summarily denied.
 *
 * XXX This is deliberately chosen to correspond to the limiting size
 * of varlena objects under TOAST.  See VARSIZE_4B() and related macros
 * in postgres.h.  Many datatypes assume that any allocatable size can
 * be represented in a varlena header.
 *
 * XXX Also, various places in aset.c assume they can compute twice an
 * allocation's size without overflow, so beware of raising this.
