I do not know where you got it from, but the last OS I know that behaved like that was MacOS 7. Please do not spread misinformation.
malloc fails at 01 << 040 at my place.
(Actually, it means that the declarations of malloc and mmap in glibc would do with unsigned int as well; you have to use mmap64 to allocate larger blocks).
