Hello jmr,
the problem lays in the nature of CLR memory management.
The keyword is that memory MAY be fragmented.
As u may know memory is reserved in blocks 32/64mb, and when your app request
another 10kb, CLR might don't find enough place in fragmented memory to reserve
another block
just to google and u find some mine post where i described this

jHi All,
j>
jOur aspnet application is randomly thrown this exception:
jSystem.OutOfMemoryException
j>
jIt only happens on our bigger 2003 server (4GB of ram!)
j>
jI've found this on Microsoft site:
j
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/820108
jThis could be our problem but how to be sure ?
jTo be honest, I'm a bit nervous changing the boot.ini on a remote
jserver.
jHas someone already applied this /3GB stuff in boot.ini.

jThanks for any feedback,
jJean-Michel
