a couple of guesses:
you might have resource limits set too low. you can use the "ulimit"
command in sh, or, iirc, "limit" in csh.
or you might have accidentally compiled python in 32-bit mode.
that means you can only access <2gb on many systems. try telling
your compiler that you want 64-bit executables.
if those don't help, take 2 aspirin and post again in the morning...
