[New-bugs-announce] [issue1270] MemoryError when working on large dictionaries on Windows 2003 Server

[Andre M. Descombes]

New submission from Andre M. Descombes:

Hi everybody,

I am using Python 2.5.1.
I am creating a rather large dictionnary, with more than 8 million
entries, memory usage should be about 1.5GB. If I run the program on
Windows XP all runs fine, if I run the program on Windows Server 2003 I
start getting MemoryError exceptions around the 1GB boundary.
Is there a known issue with Windows 2003 Server?

Thanks,

André M. Descombes
