You are probably running on a 32-bit OS or a 32-bit app on a 64-bit OS. You need a 64-bit app on a 64-bit OS.

You can't run the torture test specifying all 4GB. The OS and program need some memory. If you specify too much memory, you'll either get memory allocation errors or you'll get thrashing which slows the torture test to a crawl (defeating its purpose).
