Could someone explain to me just what the problem is?

I have a 4Mb card (maybe cv tech?  can't tell you this second...) with a
fully-populated Apple card piggy-backed on, in my ROM 01 GS, giving me a
total of 5.25Mb.  I'm running a "stock" GS, with GS/OS 6.0.1 and a 20Mb
Vulcan.

GS/OS seems to be recognizing all 5.25Mb.  Software works fine.  In fact,
my GS runs for weeks without being shut down or crashing (wish I could say
the same for the Amiga and the Macs at work...).

So just what is the problem with running more than 4Mb on a GS?
