program memory limits

by solrak29 . Updated 21 years, 2 months ago

I’m programming on Unix based systesm and watched my process grow to about 2gig through the top utility and it crashed. I then set the ulimit to unlimited for memory and now when my program hits the 2gig magic number I get unpredictable results from my application.

I thought that a program has 4gig of memory access and can any explain the phenomena and/or point me to any documentation on any discussion on this issue.
