Further testing at the 2gb boundary shows a variety of different errors from run to run. I'd say the incremental GC logic trash memory somehow as it goes over the 2gb boundary.

The attached zip contains six change sets and an update for sqMemoryAccess.h. The changes are intended to resolve problems with oop variable declarations and comparison operations that may occur on platforms that assign object memory to high virtual memory address values.
Can anyone confirm whether these changes are producing the intended results, i.e. a system that used to crash with >2GB oop issues, and no longer crashes after applying the changes? I don't have any Squeak platform that exhibits the problem, so so I can't confirm whether or not the problem is actually resolved.
Thanks,
