Thank you very much!!  I had to use 17 instead of 13 to get all the 
tests to pass consistently, but then they did in several consecutive 
runs.  (Note that there is a random element to the testsuite because of 
the use of randomize in testlib.c.)

I appreciate your help.  I guess the authors of the tests never imagined 
a platform with a 64K page size.  I hope it's simply the test suite 
that's affected and not the rest of the MPS code.
