>Description:

My processes need about 2.5 GB RAM and 2.5 GB virtual address space
to finish correctly.

FreeBSD cannot allow a process to use more than 2 GB virtual address
because the other 2 GB (On a 32-bit machine, the total virtual
address space usable to a process is 4 GB) virtual address must be
reversed for the kernel.

May I do something to allow the process running on FreeBSD?
