Hi,

I'm passing fairly large arrays around (using Numeric Py)
and I'm getting the error:

        MemoryError: can't allocate memory for array

although I have plenty of memory left on my SGI (Indigo2
with 448 megs). Why would I be seeing this message although
the machine hasn't even starting swapping?   Is there a default
stack size I can adjust somehow?

TIA,

Heather
