Nope -- this has not been the case for quite some time!
VENIX System V for the PC's allows LARGE code space
(limited only by physical memory) and 64kb data space.
The 64kb code space was a restriction only in very early versions
of VENIX.

In fact, using the shared memory capability, you can easily
(but not transparently) access large amounts of data space also.
