I'm not certain if we're looking at the same issue. The case I'm
describing above typically runs for less than 6 minutes ! and barely
consumes any memory. Even the large single job which ended this
evening, creating 3 GByte of terrain in more than two days !! didn't
run out of memory, no oom killer was stepping in. It just ran into a
segfault, which, as you certainly know, is a pretty common case.
Cheers,
Martin.
