Default memory limit for 32bit instanced moved from 3.5 GB to 3 GB.

In some system, notably osx, the 3.5 GB limit was too far and not able
to prevent a crash for out of memory. The 3 GB limit works better and it
is still a lot of memory within a 4 GB theorical limit so it's not going
to bore anyone :-)

This fixes issue #711
