I've been told that our system does have all the artificial memory
limits removed.
Our sysadmin tells me that we're running Origin 200 with irex 6.5.3.
I'm using idl 5.3 in a multi-user configuration...at any time 6-8
people can be running idl off the same server system. Do you know if
idl shares memory from a common pool? I wonder if that may be
contributing to my problem. I'm finding it really frustrating to deal
with though since there seems to be no easy way to track memory within
idl (I'm finding the help, /memory command to be quite cryptic).
If you (or anyone else!) have any suggestions I'd love to hear them!
