Could you, please, try other sizes to see where it starts doing this? Please try 100000000, then, if that worked with 500000000, and so on until you can give me an estimate where it starts going wrong! Sorry, if it sounds silly, but I need to know this in order to establish a way how to reproduce this bug and think up a way how and where to do the debugging. Not everyone is so blessed with RAM as you are. Regards -richy. -- .''`. Richard B.
