    Ah! 32-bit. Get the 64-bit version and you'll get the message:

    C:\test>perl -we"print $]; $x = chr(0); $x x= $ARGV[0]" 1e12 Out of memory! 5.010001 C:\test>\Perl64-16\bin\perl -we"print $]; $x = chr(0); $x x= $ARGV[0]" + 1e12 Out of memory! 5.016001 C:\test>\Perl5.18\bin\perl -we"print $]; $x = chr(0); $x x= $ARGV[0]" +1e12 Out of memory! 5.018001
