[issue1270] MemoryError when working on large dictionaries on Windows 2003 Server

Martin,

it is really a bug, as I have tried on a machine with Windows 2003 server
and 4GBs of ram and it still doesn't run, and it does run on xp with only
1GB of ram.
Does python.exe have then IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE bit set, that could
explain the behaviour it its not set.

Thanks,

Andre M. Descombes
