Replying to myself here. Just in case somebody else have similar problems:

Sybase admits they are doing the memory size calculations wrong when running 
Linux kernels 3.0-3.3 with more than 4GB memory. They have fixed it later.

But the linux guys have also patche the kernel since that to allow this "wrong" 
way
of calculating the memory size.
And after installing a 3.4.4 kernel my NMC started working.
In other words we cannot run the current NMC on kernels 3.0-3.3.
In case EMC upgrades the SqlAnywhere patch level at some point the restriction
will be removed.
Also tried the olld NMC from 7.6.3 on the 3.4 kernel. This still claims to be 
out of memory.

The database NMC upgrade failed after my trials with kernel 3.3.6 though and I 
had to throw it away to
make things work. Not a big deal in the test environment, but I suggest copying 
everything under /opt/lgtonmc 
to a safe location before you start upgrading the production...
