Maya Composite crash on WIN with 3GB switch

If you are using Maya Composite on a computer with Windows XP 32 bit with the /3GB parameter enabled , you might result with random crash

The virtual address space of processes and applications is still limited to 2 GB unless the /3GB switch is used in the Boot.ini file.

Maya Composite doesn't detect this configuration parameter and it will crash randomly.
You will need to remove this /3GB switch in order to use Maya Composite.

Thanks to David Lau for his tip

That's good to hear.
We got reports that it does, and some tests should it doesn’t’
Hence in my entry I typed “might”

I have been using this on my test machine with the /3gig switch and have no such problem.... This is not to say it dos not happen, but strange that I have not experienced this at this time.
