That's 2097152 on my system. Quite an overkill. I know that we have lazy
page table assigement, but memseting the whole 2GB defeats it.

The qemu invocation looks like  the longest one, and we have 3
components that may take up to PATH_MAX each and some extra stuff, so
going with 4*PATH_MAX should be enough.

BTW, why do you memset it to 0 before each sprintf?
