Hello Richard Thanks for responding.
Yes, using 0.9.7 caused the same problem for me in terms of memory problems, hence I went back to 0.9.6 and tested the advisory, which worked ok. In the end, I did try replacing -fast with -O0 in 0.9.7, and that worked without problems, so I presume the help file could be updated to reflect the change. Maybe 0.9.8 could have a more permanent solution.
