Please tell be when you have a fixed version to try.

I saw somewhere that there are address space limitations on 3GB for the
user and 1GB for the system (or something similar, I'm not sure of this)

OK.

Another question (I'm still a newbie): From which init file is the
network started on Hurd. The only init files related to the network I
can find in /etc/init.d are networking and ifupdown (and
ifupdown-clean). All seems to be Linux specific, e.g. networking
calls /sbin/ifup and /sbin/ifdown (and they are not functional on
Hurd). 
I have not seen any script with a lina like:
 
settrans -afg /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i -a  -m -g

anywhere (independent on if you have static or dhcp IP-address set
in /etc/networking/interfaces or not). Where are these calls? 
The /etc/network/interfaces file seems to be parsed though during
network setup!
