The error is returned because you hit the process resource limit, not
because the system didn't have enough memory.

Malloc is kind of strange when it comes to allocating the virtual address
space and will consume up to twice the amount requested. If you want to malloc
more than 64MB, you'll need to further increase the data limit.
