Hello folks,

A minor correction, this would be PFSHAREDSIZE (SIZE rather than BASE).
However I think this particular case is something different. On
Windows, since we run in single-process mode only, we don't need to use
the shared memory functions so just use regular malloc/free/etc.

So Aurelian, my gut feeling is that you are indeed just running out of
memory. Try bumping the amount of virtual memory in your system (it's
somewhere in the control panel), to see if this is really the case..
