Description:
Setting the LockPagesInMainMemory to 1 doesn't allow the data nodes to come up. The data/index memory is 80MB and 10MB with about 700MB free available memory. Starting 5.0.37 2 data nodes makes the machine for a short moment frozen as it consumes, it seems, completely the free memory.

Also, setting LockPagesInMainMemory to 0 (zero) is not allowed.

How to repeat:
Attached are the logs and the config.ini to show the problem. Just start the ndb_mgm and the ndbds.

Suggested fix:
Might be a merge problems from MySQL 5.1?

Goes worse with value of two: LockPagesInMainMemory=2.

OK, the LockPagesInMainMemory was a simple 'getting out of memory'. Each ndbd process took over 400Mb, and that's not possible to allocated with 700Mb free of course :)

Opened report a bit to fast there.

Anyway, LockPagesInMainMemory=0 doesn't work still. This needs a fix.
