On a 32 bits OS, you rarely can allocate more than 2GB per process for
structural reasons of the OS itself (shared libraries, code, stack... are
generally placed at an arbitrary place)... maybe with Linux64 plus a 64 bits
build of CVS you could fix your problem.
The swap has nothing to do with that sadly, the OS will not let you allocate
the memory you have (physical or swap) in a single process if you have more
than 2GB or so (maybe it is a bit more if Linux is better organized than
Windows)
wish it helps
