RVM_EINTERNAL is returned when the allocation of virtual memory fails. This is 
used to store the in memory copy of the rvm. The result is that your rvm data 
file can not be initialized correctly.

Why it fails, I'm not sure. I'll give a list of questions at the end of this 
mail.

As the rvm is not initialized, it cannot be loaded correctly, (or more likely 
as 201 == RVM_EINTERNAL the mmap fails again.

- What is the rvm data file size you tried to create.
- How much physical memory does your system have.
- How much swap memory.
- Is the rvm data stored in a file or on a separate partition.
- What is the architecture of your machine (x86 or sparc?).
