System.OutOfMemoryException Allocating byte array.

[The Sourcerer]

Hi,

I am trying to allocate a byte array i na console app.
The process jumps over the 1 GB RAM and then throws
System.OutOfMemoryException.

It happens with diffrent sizes of allocation, on different computers,
using Framework 1.1.

Any ideas ?

Code:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
// Allocate Buffer in X Size ( Many X Discovered )
byte[] buffer = new byte[16776576];
// byte[] buffer = new byte[16776577]; // Another Example
// byte[] buffer = new byte[16776587]; // Another Example
// byte[] buffer = new byte[25161696]; // Another Example

// mote then 1 G of RAM is allocated here!
}
catch (Exception ex)
{

// Gives: System.OutOfMemoryException: Exception of type
System.OutOfMemoryException was thrown.
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}

Hi Sourcerer

The issue you have described is a known memory limitation in v1.1. It should be fixed in the upcoming Service Pack 1.

Sorry about the inconvenience. If this is a pressing issue, please contact Microsoft Support for a hotfix.

Thanks
