I've attached a graph of how both use working set memory - it does appear to 
be related to trying to allocate a total of more than about 450 megs.  It's 
not a problem with physical memory being available - my PC has 6 Gig and 
it's nowhere hear using it all.

What about Paged and Non-Paged Pool memory? Does it use all of this - with 
windows 2003/XP there was a relatively small amount available no matter how 
many GB of RAM you had, with Windows 2008/Vista/7 the memory management was 
changed - I won't pretend to know how - but the NPP resources were 
significantly more (esp on 64 bit machines) but even so not infinite.
