Too bad... anyway now I'm using the latest one.
Are you using a 64 bit platform? This array would have a size of 6.4 GB which is not possible on 32 bit.
From your question I understand that the maximum limit coincides with the physical memory (which is limited to 4 GB on a 32-bit machine).
I am not sure that it is as much physical memory, as it is the addressable memory. You can have 512mb physical memory, but a 32-bit OS is able to address much higher than that (through paging if necessary).
