Uhm, I'm a little confused now.
In 3.6 I used to get an error with large images which said "failed to allocate
display bitmap" but with -d it worked fine.

But if the -d option works the same in 3.7 I wonder why there was the problem
with the large image fillibar wrote about in the first message?

Or does it mean that the display can be switched of with -d in 3.7 but still
needs all the memory for the display (unlike version 3.6)? But I thought the
main reason for switching off the display was to save memory (at least I can't
imagine another reason to use it.)

Best wishes,

Simone
