The limit is on the total amount of virtual memory that the Matlab process
can use at any time, which is limited by the maximum size of an integer
that can be represented by the computer and operating system. During the
stats, all the volumes are memory mapped and effectively become part of the
virtual memory. You can read a bit more about this from the old spm
messages at Mailbase:
