Usually programs have "unlimited" access to the heap.

Most operating systems put a limit on the stack size, but the default
limit is most likely adjustable.  On Linux I let some Ada programs run
with 4 Gb stack.

The command to change the default stack size is:

   limit stacksize 4G

(the setting is local to the shell you run the command in)
