Just to provide another data point, I have the same problem. I have g77, 
g95 and grfortran (gfc) installed (see below). With heap_chunk_in_mb set 
to 1024, on a machine with 1024 MiB RAM< I can run a simple Fortran 
program with an array of up to ~ 1023 MiB. With g77 & gfc the limit is 
156 MiB and beyond that it fails with something like

   gfctest.exe (844): *** MapViewOfFileEx(0x224, in_h 0x224)
   failed, Win32 error 6

Here is an example test program

       program main
       integer n
       parameter (n=40876200)
       real a(n)
       integer i
       do i=1,n
         a(i) = i
       end do
       write (unit=*, fmt=*) a(1), a(n)
       end

And here is the -v output for each compiler:

Use g95
