Maybe, but you haven't said whether the same programs runs on the host,
or whether it runs with an unmodified kernel on the same hardware (which
would suggest whether it was a vserver issue). Also you haven't said
what architecture you're working on and, if applicable, what the address
space split between kernel and user space is. For example if you are
running on i386 or x86_64 hardware, using 32 bit code and a 2Gb:2Gb
split then you won't be able to allocate more than 2Gb of RAM in /any/
userspace process.
