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.

This was what Windows describes as "Private Working Set".  It's physical 
memory, but there's lots there still to be allocated.
