this works nicely on my test system.

Without the patch:

  12 Mai 2014, 14:33:09: Tracker: Setting memory limitations: total is 18,4 EB, minimum is 256 MB, 
recommended is ~1 GB
  12 Mai 2014, 14:33:09: Tracker:   Virtual/Heap set to 268,4 MB (50% of total or MAXLONG)

With the patch:

  Tracker-Message: Setting memory limitations: total is 68,4 GB, minimum is 256 MB, recommended is ~1 GB
  Tracker-Message:   Virtual/Heap set to 2,1 GB (50% of total or MAXLONG)

Cheerio!
