When I tell one of the systems in question to boot directly from the
hard disk, this doesn't happen.  It only happens when attempting to go
through pxelinux and boot from the local disk.  The output looks like
this (with some boring bits elided):

  TFTP prefix: 
/cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/maverick-server-i386/
  Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/default     ok
  Booting from local disk...

  Intel(R) Boot Agent GE v1.3.27
  Copyright (C) 1997-2008, Intel Corporation

  CLIENT MAC ADDR: ... GUID: ...
  CLIENT IP: ... MASK: ... DHCP IP: ...
  GATEWAY IP: ...

This repeats several times, and then the "It appears your computer has
less than ..." message appears.  I therefore suspect that the PXE
stack's local boot function doesn't work properly, and as a result we
are recursing through the PXE stack until it runs out of low memory.

** Summary changed:

- Unable to boot maverick daily images -- RAM not detected
+ localboot in pxelinux recurses back into pxelinux, and eventually crashes
