It's not causing a crash, just a delay. You'll safely get either an OOM message or an EOF message.and no memory leak.
On some systems, the memory is not returned from the running process to the OS so this results in continued high memory usage. Allocations done using mmap() may be returned to the OS.
For a device like a printer a 2GB allocation might be rejected outright, but a smaller allocation might be accepted.
