Those in the Numeric/numarray community, for one, would also be concerned. Although there aren't many data arrays these days that are larger than 2GB there are some beginning to appear. I have no doubt that within a few years there will be many more. I'm not sure I understand all the implications of the discussion here, but it sounds like an important issue. Currently strings are frequently used as a common "medium" to pass binary data from one module to another (e.g., from Numeric to PIL); limiting strings to 2GB may prove a problem in this area (though frankly, I suspect few will want to use them as temporary buffers for objects that size until memories have grown a bit more :-).
