As the OP points out the limit is pretty clearly specified on the download page and there's a "note" linking to the limit right next to where it says "32-bit".

Sometimes you just have to admit you screwed up and didn't read the documentation. Everyone does it, we're hackers, we'd much rather play with technology than read docs.

Being limited to 2GB, and failing silently after 2GB are different things. I know about the 2GB limit but I also would have expected an error. (Though I think I managed to enable safe mode for my internal app.)
