If you run a whos, doesn't that give you information about matrices
that were successfully created, not the ones that failed?

I believe Windows limits all 32-bit processes to 2GB total. At least
that's what we concluded here. Even on a 64-bit Windows, if the
process (i.e. octave) is 32-bit you can only use up to 2GB total. My
understanding is you'll have to compile a 64-bit octave to access more
memory. I found this link when trying to verify my memory of this
issue:
