I remember the 2GB limit when I was developing with PSE Pro myself a few
years ago. There was no memory problem because I was running with a 4GB heap
using the 64 bit JVM.

In fact I've run spaces with a much larger PSE file than the Java heap
available, so I'm not sure that memory always limits us.

In fact the space appeared to behave normally until it was restarted. It
then failed to consolidate the logs into the PSE file and did not recognize
any of the entries that were created after the PSE file got full.

As far as requests for enhancement are concerned, it would be good if
outrigger could handle a space > 2GB!

Thanks,

Gary.
