Additional Information
The amount of memory available is critical for dissolve. With more memory dissolve is able to create larger features (get down to fewer output features). ArcMap.exe is compiled with a special (Large Address Aware) switch that allows it to allocate 3 GB of memory. python.exe (IDLE) is not compiled with this special switch so can only allocate the normal 2 GB of memory for a 32 bit app.Workaround
Use the Dissolve tool within ArcMap, or if using tool in script, use ArcGIS Pro (2.0.1) ArcPy.Steps to Reproduce
