When I remove some of the model  it renders just fine in animation mode
when I crank the resolution down it runs just fine in animation mode
probably if I turn off display it would work fine also
----------------
It must be that a GIG of ram is just on the line for a successful render at
8000 X 2000 with a rather large model file
----------------
Strange that it would start and render/display the first frame

not so Strange that it works just fine with 3.6 but not 3.7 as 3.7 probably
uses a little more memory overhead

what follows is the log for the first frame a very large model (I put a
cropped portion in the images directory titled "future hotel") rendered in
3.6
