My guesses, in order, would be (1) an unitialized variable, or (2) it loads sparsely, or (3) it has a really bogus table entry that claims it needs that much memory. It doesn't look magic enough to be a sign extension/signed-unsigned pun error. Other than starting at the code that's supposed to load the table in, and printf'ing until you find out why it's thinks 50M is a nuce number, I don't know what to tell you... -- Terry
