the users will go anyhow in shared memory (I assumed you referred to 
location records, as subscriber table is not cached anyhow). If you have 
a big config file, it may be the case of running out of private memory.

On 64b the structures are bigger in size, most of them having pointers 
or long fields, which are now 64b size instead of 32.
