When I set it to 2003001 it compiles but gives a segmention fault even though it's global. Maybe there's a limitation to allocating that way?
In a 32-bit process, an application can linearly address no more than typically 2 GB, even if the computer has more RAM. As a 64-bit operating system, Mac OS X can run 32-bit and 64-bit proceses. A 64-bit process can linearly address 2^63 bytes, but your program is 32-bit as it was compiled as such. With regard to a compiler capable of compiling 64-bit applications, see my message to this list of 23-06-2011 21:24.
