As it turns out the best bets seem to be linux, djgpp(dos), and emx(gcc/os2)
for extremely large process sizes (well in excess of 64 MB -> 228 MB -> n GB).

SCO, however, does support process space up to 32 MB (8192 pages * 4096 bytes)
with simple menu guided manipulation of system tuning parameters.
