Memory is not one gigantic lake that can all be allocated for one program.

It is divided up into pools for various purposes. For one application to take 2 GB is probably causing a severe memory shortage.

The answer is probably to add more memory to the workstation or break up the 2 GB file/whatever into smaller, more manageable pieces.

Additionally you can also think of of increasing swap size. Have a look at "swapon" command.

Hi Tony,

Upgrading the system memory and swap will resolve your problem. But first try to extend the swap or to add additional swap from different device than the swap on current one.
Can you send the kernel parameters of your system?
