I still use 3.6.1 and I tried it with 41000x41000 pixels. I used: +fn
display=off  in the command line and it seems to be rendering OK, the image is
written right away on the hard disk.
I have quite an old computer with only 2 GB of RAM. I haven't had the patience
to wait until this test image was finished though, but I didn't get any error
messages or whatever, so I guess it works fine.

I don't know about version 3.7, is it not possible to switch of the display
anymore in that version?

Best wishes,

Simone
