Does Cygwin have a 2GB Memory/RAM limit ?


I am trying to run cygwin on a Windows 2003 server with 8GB of ram.

I have set the registry key to inform cygwin the max memory should be 4096 
(4GB).  Checking the registry - I see the value is set to 4096.
(see: http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-maxmem.html)
In spite of this, all indications are that it does not see more than 2GB 
(2097151K) of RAM.  (top and vmstat output)

Can anyone else confirm this - that memory above 2GB is not visible to 
cygwin.  Any known work-arounds?

Thanks in advance.

Dan Nazario

P.S.   Cygwin uname info is: CYGWIN_NT-5.2 **server name **
