[Mesa-users] Segfault when running the tutorial

[Francis Timmes]

mesa's ram requirements vary a lot depending on what is being modelled
and which tables of data are being used. in this case, the ELM eos tables 
are probably the primary memory hog. a perusual of archived threads in 
https://lists.mesastar.org/pipermail/mesa-users/ suggests that 8 gb ram 
is around the minimum, and 16 gb ram is better.

alternatively, try setting use_eosELM = .false. in controls and see how things go.
this means using HELM instead of ELM (which was what previous mesa versions defaulted to). 
this can make the convergence properties slightly worse in some cases, but will
use less ram.
