What is the full text of the "unexpected image offset" error that you see?
I would guess that this particular error is really a problem in reading
the file, and not a problem with how much memory you have allocated.
The out of memory message that you see is likely due to the fact that one
cannot allocate more than ~1.8 GB of memory in 32-bit versions:
