util: Work around (virtual) memory exhaustion on 32-bit w/ glibc

Browse source 
glibc-specific: On 32-bit systems set the number of arenas to 1. By
default, since glibc 2.10, the C library will create up to two heap
arenas per core. This is known to cause excessive virtual address space
usage in our usage. Work around it by setting the maximum number of
arenas to 1.
