He's not called it a Vista limitation either. It's a limitation imposed by Vista on standard C calls for memory allocation (malloc). You can always allocate more memory using standard windows api calls (again, mentioned by Nicely). Any of the following could be true about limiting malloc() to 32 MB: 1) MS thinks that people calling malloc() have evil intentions and should be limited to 32 MB 2) MS thinks that all 32/64 bit applications call the windows API memory alloc functions and only 16 bit applications call malloc() 3) Windows malloc() implementation for anything more than 32 MB is dangerous/broken and they want to work around it discretely. -- Siddhesh Poyarekar http://siddhesh.tk -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
