From the original report:

So it seems there's quite a bit of free space.

Chunk is the largest free contiguous region, right? If so, it seems the
problem is unrelated to guard pages, instead the search isn't finding a
1-page area (with two guard pages) for some reason, even though lots of
free space is available.
