just a wild guess, but maybe it's having a problem allocating the memory.  Have you
tried doing this:

unsigned char *BIG;
BIG=malloc(2000000);
if(BIG == NULL)
{
    printf("ERROR");
    return -1;
}

Doesn't that do the exact same thing except checks for errors?  Correct me if I'm wrong
but can't you access it the same way? (ex BIG[500] = 'b').  That's just my 2 cents worth
anyway
