Sounds about right. I tried it with 1M nodes which worked fine and with 
1.25M nodes which failed. The initial value I gave was just a 
guess-estimate because I started with 1.5M which failed and then halved 
it to 750K which worked.

My OS is OpenSuse 12.3, latest updates on an AMD 8-core with 16GB mem

I'll give it a try even though "a few tokens more" is not what you want 
in a loop that runs billions of times.
