Tim, the /LARGEADDRESSAWARE flag just specifies whether 
python.exe is enabled for #GB addresses, i.e. doesn't use 
dubious pointer manipulations that make it fail with a 3GB 
address space. 

It does not cause Windows to provide the 3GB address space, 
nor to reduce cache and pool size - that is controlled 
separately by the /3GB boot switch (and various registry 
settings for finer control of cache and pool sizes).

In other words, it is an enabling declaration, not a 
control parameter. 

Josiah, I don't compile on Windows, hence cannot provide a 
patch. What I did is applying the flag to the executable by 
using editbin.exe.
