Seems like a limit for VM size for 32bit application. A while ago, before 64 bit were usual, it was qutie tricky to work with large files. Each application must to implement a kind of pageing to support large files. But since 64bit is something that everyone expets, we have a world where you may mmap into memory any file and simple work with it as huge array. With one notable exception: Java. Java enforces such limit for back compatibility with 32 bit platforms. -- wbr, Kirill
