That's because you are running a 32 bit factor. Try allocating many arrays, at some point your OS should return an error to factor at https://github.com/factor/factor/blob/master/vm/os-windows.cpp#L97
Also what you are seeing is expected, the array size is limited to most-positive-fixnum/2, which is not a problem on 64bits (2^58-1 ~ 10^17 ) but is kind of limiting on 32 bits (2^26-1 = 67 million ~= 10^8). There was discussions about this but I can't find it anymore...
