I always thought that pure-space overflow with pdumper doesn't matter,
that's why we don't warn.  You seem to be saying that it does matter?
By "makes GC not functional" do you mean during dumping, or do you
mean after restarting Emacs with the pdumper file?

Thanks, but why does this only affect 32-bit builds?
