ModelSim Intel FPGA Starter edition 10.5b fails to simulate due to mem alloc fail

--- Quote Start ---

modelsim as supplied in starter edition is simply a 32bit application, so you're limited to 2GB of ram.

But using 2GB is a bit of a challenge - how have you managed it? are you trying to load the entire contents of a DDR?

Why not give us a hint as to what you're trying to do, and maybe we can help?

As indicated in the original request: I am trying to simulate a testbench that consists of a test vector file reader pushing into an empty DUT entity. The simulation fails with these memory allocation errors. The model will not need 2GB of memory so run, so something else is failing.
