3gb service problem

[Yitzhak Sapir]

When we run a particular memory-intensive service on an advanced
server set up with 3gb, we observe the following:
1) When the service executable is run stand-alone (not as a service),
it runs ok.
2) When the service executable is run as a service with user Local
System, it runs ok.
3) When the service executable is run as a service with a different
user, it receives an out of memory error when it tries to allocate
memory after it has allocated about 2 gb of memory.

Is there some security or rights privilege that must be granted to be
able to make use of the 3 gb? Any ideas what could lead to this
behavior?

Thanks.

Have you got the /3Gb switch in your boot.ini file??
