I’d speculate it’s the same thing that crashes cobbler, etc. They look at the size of the DAM and then allocate that memory so they can set bits marking sectors used (or in the case, probably free) and it’s too large. The code doesn’t check for that in cobbler and the value just rolls over and it has unexpected bad results.
