Summary:
The general response was add swap space with mkfile and swapon. Make sure
to do a pstat -s to insure the new swap was in fact opened. I did receive a
program to check the kernel for limits but have not had a chance to try it.
If anyone is interested in a copy of the program send me mail. With 20Meg
of additional swap everything ran fine.
Final note: It seems obvious now but one way to estimate the total ram
necessary is as follows.
"You can also simply use the fact that DOUBLE PRECISION
arrays take 8 bytes per element, REAL arrays and INTEGER arrays
take 4 bytes per element and INTEGER*2 arrays take 2 bytes per
element to get a lower limit on the swap space you need."
Or.
"Use the size command on the linked image."
