Try this : use pretrace_start=pretrace_end=1 and then split the render into
small slices that fit in your memory. Slice it into 10 pieces or so, for
example (+er0.1, +er0.2 etc.).
Normally doing this produces artifacts but if you have such large RAM
requirements your rad settings are probably high enough to make them
inexistent. All my radiosity images are rendered this way.
