What is the real default heap size on windows?

The documentation claims that the default heap size is unlimited: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/runtime-control.html

At least on windows, the default seems to be 256megs. I think this is just a typo in the documentation, although unlimited heap by default could be nice in some cases.
