Release Mode doesn't allow large textures

Is there any setting in MS Visual Studio 2005 that will prevent OpenGL from allocating large textures? I am experiencing the following behavior:

The situation:

I create two large objects: one texture and one buffer both about 260 mb

In Debug Mode:

Allocation and use of both objects works fine. I can even destroy and recreate the objects several times with different but comparable sizes.

In Release Mode:

The Buffer is allocated but OpenGL throws [1] an OUT_OF_MEMORY error when i try to allocate the texture. At this point there is about 1000mb video memory available. [2]

Does anyone know some MSVC settings/parameters/whatever that can affect OpenGL in this way? confused

Edit

adding some code:

This is the place i create the buffer (called updateBuffer):

glm::u32 size = glm::compMul(size) * sizeof(glm::u16);

util::odprintf("[...] creating updatebuffer\n");
util::odprintf("[...] - for texture size: %s\n", glm::string(size).c_str());
util::odprintf("[...] - new size: %.2fkb\n", size / 1024.0f);

updateBuffer.create(size, GL_STREAM_DRAW);

util::odprintf("[...] - done\n");

At this point the buffer is mapped, data is written, the buffer is unmapped and the data is streamed to the graphics card. At the beginning of the next frame I create the texture:

util::odprintf("[...] initialize new data texture\n");
util::odprintf("[...] - available vram (before): %.2f\n", ogl::getCurrentAvailableVidMem() / 1024.0f);
util::odprintf("[...] - old texture: %d\n", newDataTexture());  // returns opengl handle
util::odprintf("[...] - new size: %s\n", glm::string(size).c_str());

newDataTexture.create(
    GL_R16F,        // internal format
    size,       // size
    0,      // border
    GL_RED,     // data format
    updateGLType,   // data type
    0);     // copy from buffer

util::odprintf("[...] - new texture %d\n", newDataTexture());
util::odprintf("[...] - available vram (after): %.2f\n", ogl::getCurrentAvailableVidMem() / 1024.0f);

(the buffer is of course bound to GL_PIXEL_UNPACK_BUFFER before this)

The output is the same for release and debug build ... but in release OpenGL fails to create the texture:

[...] processing scheduled update
[...] creating updatebuffer
[...] - for texture size: ivec3(1376, 1040, 93)
[...] - new size: 259935.00kb
[...] - done
[...] update available
[...] initialize new data texture
[...] - available vram (before): 1004.09
[...] - old texture: 1
[...] - new size: ivec3(1376, 1040, 93)
Eine Ausnahme (erste Chance) bei 0x7c812afb in ....exe: Microsoft C++-Ausnahme: ogl::debug_output an Speicherposition 0x0012dc68..

As you can see i am using EXT_direct_state_access. The "Wrapper" class is a standard refcounted design. I can't disclose that one ... but i can say for sure that it is proven to work.

Please keep asking if you need to know more ... i am running out of ideas here. :(

man ... someone had disabled /LARGEMEMORYAWARE in the release build ... thanks to everyone who tried to warp their head around this :)

You aren't using OpenGL, you are using some C++ library that in turn uses OpenGL. I would look there for your problem.

Is this library pure header files (recompiled from source in your project, using your compiler settings), or is there a binary component? Binary libraries typically don't deal well with changed compiler settings, such as the difference between Debug and Release configuration.
