I'm not sure of the exact pre-required settings I had when I compiled FLEXPART to have a successful executable, but there seem to be various default parameter settings in some of the FLEXPART include files that will lead to some ginormous multi dimensional arrays. I was pretty sure I did the exact same procedure when I compiled FLEXPART later and got the non working executable, but if the .bss space was too large, I must have done something else before. It's just that I can't possibly think of anything I did different. However, I'm determined to locate the problem, to advice the FLEXPART developers. I don't want others to go through something similar. Kåre
