Hmm, REF * POPMEMLIM is not totally clear on this point:

  popmemlim -> int                                              [variable]
  int_or_false -> popmemlim
          This  (active)  integer  variable  specifies  the  (approximate)
          maximum number of words  to which the  system should expand  the
                            ^^^^^

which I take to mean native machine words - i.e. 32 bits on linux.

So popmemlim == 200000 is 800k.
