   You know, when I told IBM-MAIN how it would be possible to   
   double the amount of memory available to 32-bit applications,   
   I was told that applications don't need just double the amount   
   of memory, and they need to be (all of them, apparently),   
   converted to 64-bit so that they can access more than 4 GiB of memory.   
      
   Go figure.   
      
   Also, I thought the first 32 GiB or something was reserved for   
   Java use or something? How does that work with a 2GiB limit?
