It's a fairly average 32-bit malloc implementation. The malloc found in
most modern libc versions is generally better these days. In the distant
past there was some OS:es shipping very bad malloc implementation
(Solaris was one) and there using GNU malloc helped.

Heh, not surprised. 2GB is a bit magic on 32-bit platforms and many
older software can not deal with more than 2^31-1 (2^31 becomes
negative, == 2GB)
