I have an 800Mhz Pentium III at work with 128Mb with a 256Mb swap file
running Windows 2000.  The following script file runs fine without any
problems.  Unfortunately when I run it on my home system with a 1.4 GHz
Pentium IV with 128Mb with a 300Mb swap file running Windows ME, I get the
message:

Slab building error.
Out of memory. Cannot allocate 327680 bytes for photons.

The system shows only 56.5Mb of RAM in use.

Any explanations?   Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
