st: 64 Bit Memory

[Jon Haveman <jon@beaconecon.com>]

I have just installed the command line version of Stata-MP on my Mac  
Pro.

From reading on Stata's website, it was my impression that I would  
be able to access memory substantially above the 2G level.  However,  
I can't seem to get set mem to give me more than 2250m.

. set mem 3g
stata-mp(2404) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=3221225472) failed (error  
code=3)
stata-mp(2404) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region
stata-mp(2404) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug
op. sys. refuses to provide memory
r(909);


I have 13G installed.

Any information would be much appreciated, either people letting me  
know that 2.25G is all I'm going to get or letting me know how to get  
substantially more than that.

Thanks much - Jon
