Nope it's a RedHat Linux box. Just to make sure I've tried another one, and there as well program quit after hitting the limit of physical ram. I also tried writing small C test program to verify that I wasn't reaching some ulimit or kernel limitations, but it had no problems mallocing 1.2 GB on the same box.
