When trying to run a render that uses over 3Gb memory I get this error

  0:01:18 Creating vista bufferPOVMS_ASSERT failed in povms.cpp line 2183:

Segmentation fault

Keeping it below 3Gb (by reducing the number of lights) it works fine.

Just wondering if I should keep that 3Gb limit in mind or if there is
something else going wrong.

Running:
Athlon 64x2 3800+
4 Gb mem internal (6Gb swap) (so available mem should not be a problem)
Suse 10 with Linux athlon64 2.6.13-15-bigsmp kernel
Self compiled Povray 3.6.1
