my model has 1600 atoms.  the memory allocation for the linux (worked)
and OS X (failed) binaries is the same:

 Sol_------------------------------------------------
 Sol_                                               -
 Sol_   --- SFCHECK --- /Vers 7.2.02; 01.10.2006/   -
 Sol_          Memory:   30 Mb  N_atom_max:  50000  -
 Sol_                                               -
 Sol_------------------------------------------------

compiling from source or downloading the mac intel binary worked with no errors.

Thanks,

Mike
