[Vis5d-users] Vis5d+ 1.2.1 DEC memory problems

I compiled the latest version on a DEC Alpha with OpenGL.  The good news
is that it runs in stereo using OpenGL (thanks NCAR), and that the
installation was painless (thanks Sourceforge)! 

But... I get memory problems.  Heres the output when I try to render a
simple isosurface:

>/home/elegua/cmoore/ 150 % vis5d canyon.v5d 
>Setting visual to 24 bit truecolor with default color map
>Setting visual to 24 bit truecolor with default color map

> You do not have enough memory to create isosurfaces.
> You do not have enough memory to create isosurfaces.
> You do not have enough memory to create isosurfaces.

I get this error message even when using -mbs 34 (or -mbs 75).  I should
have plenty of memory available.  I can run any number of slices,
contours, volume renderings, trajectories, wind vectors, etc, while
animating in stereo mode.  But not a single small isosurface.

I tried the LAMPS.v5d data set: same error.

Any ideas?

Yours,
Chris
