Hi,

I forgot to add in my reply that error code 5014, which is what comes up
with the error loading EOS tables, has something to do with allocating
arrays or, rather, not being able to do so.  Hard to find this online, but
see here:

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50937

I have some notion of a 4 GB limit per process in 32-bit linux systems.

We will go back up to 4798 today and see if we can reproduce the net
problem.


Aaron
