When I ran those memtest tests, I was under Snow Leopard, and maybe the kernel that appeared in Single User Mode (SUM) was 32 bits. Nevertheless memtest took nearly all the memory fro testing it (about 23 GB) but could not, of course lock it. Now I am under Lion ( OS X 10.7.1 ) and, when under SUM, it is well specified that the kernel is 64 bits : "Kernel is LP64" When running memtest, it says : "Attempting memory lock ... locked successfully". Thanks to you this "lock mystery" is solved and I'll be much more confident in memtest results in the future. Very best regards.
