This works. A big array of eight bit random numbers is constructed:

import numpy as np

spectrumArray = np.random.randint(0,255, (2**20,2**12)).astype(np.uint8)



This fails. It eats up all 64GBy of RAM:

spectrumArray = np.random.randint(0,255, (2**21,2**12)).astype(np.uint8)


The difference is a factor of two, 2**21 rather than 2**20, for the extent
of the first axis.
