I get the following error:

Possible Parce Error: There are more than the maximum supported components in a
blob.
Fatal error in parser: Uncategorized error.
Render failed

What is the maximum size?

I create an array and initialize some of the elements.
I scan the array and add a blob sphere{} component for some of the initialized
array elements.
I also #write to a file the blob component, later I can choose to include the
file.

array [480][60][348], array and blob works
array [720][90][522], array works, blob fails

Win vista 64
8Gb memory

Suggestions?

Looking further:
The include file has 1439767 lines of entery, starting with
blob{threshold .2
sphere{ <0.0140553,-2.98281,0.000647176>,0.231891,.008}
sphere{ <-0.00691917,-2.98312,0.0420482>,0.251227,.008}
....

The maximum number of internal(!) components per blob is 1,000,000; note 
that while each spherical component is represented by a single internal 
component, each cylindrical component is actually represented by three 
components internally (the cylinder itself + the two end hemispheres).

Thank you.
I will limit the size of the initial array to start with, and work from there.
