Here in comp.os.os2.apps, sms@splicer.com spake unto us, saying:

The 512MB limit in VDMs was (as I understand it) an intentional design
decision on IBM's part to make addressing more efficient for 16-bit apps,
but the method Microsoft used to implement that API call just happens to
be incompatible with the 512MB limit.
My own guess is that IBM is still unwilling to break existing 16-bit
applications by changing that stuff in Merlin, and that Photoshop 3.0
will continue to fail to work under WinOS2 until Adobe decides to use
an alternate method in Photoshop or port it as a native application.
