Hi Christian, quick and simple answer, on a 32-bit Windows system, you are running out of address space, which is in practice limited to 2GB or at most 3GB if you configured your system accordingly (cf., http://monetdb.cwi.nl/XQuery/Documentation/Scalability.html http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361D-01/lvhowto/enable_lrg_ad_aware/ ), and know to be very vulnarable to address space fragmentation.
I haven't tried it recently, but you might be able to load the 1 GB XMark document on a 32-bit Unix-like system. A 64-bit build of MonetDB/XQuery (on a 64-bit system) should not have any problems loading a 1 GB XMark document.
