[Mono-list] Problems with arrays over 4gb on 64 bit Itanium

Try it anyway. On a byte-addressed machine like Itanium, using an 
integer as an index for an array of doubles will result in the 
integer being multiplied by eight before it's added to the base
address of the array. So the addressing will actually be in terms 
of bytes. And the big array switch could well be documented in 
terms of the memory being addressed, which is what really matters.
