... Failing with 10 GB seems weird... Did you monitor real memory usage to see where it failed?
A 32 bit Linux will limit the amount of virtual memory per process to somewhat between 2.5 and 3 GB -- for reasons of address bit restrictions: With 32 bit addresses you can only address about 4 GB and parts of the address space is reserved for other purposes (than heap). You need a 64 bit architecture to have a significantly higher virtual address space. -- Dieter
