After Allegro CL and Scieneer Common Lisp, GNU CLISP now also supports
- heap sizes greater than 4 gigabytes and
- memory images greater than 4 gigabytes.
Of course, on 64-bit CPUs only. We're using 10 GB memory images in
production use on AMD64 processors.
You find it in the CLISP CVS (see http://clisp.sourceforge.net/); it
will also be supported starting from the next release.

Greetings! Great! Congratulations!
It might also be noteworthy that GCL has seen some serious large image
production work since 2.6.x was released. I believe researchers at UT
working with ACL2, (possibly in conjunction with coworkers at AMD),
have been using an >24GB ACL2/GCL image on an 8-way Itanium system --
over a billion cons cells.
Take care,
