malloc(), virtual memory

I would appreciate some help on the following problem. When using
malloc() in C ( runing 4.2 bsd ), I cannot allocate more than roughly
4 megabytes. This seems to be limited by our core size. I would 
like to know whether this limit can be extended to handle virtual
memory on the VAX. Also, any information on how the C compiler deals with
virtual memory (if at all) would be appreciated.
