Harry, Thanks for the rapid response. While I posted the message I noticed that it looked like Hugin was running out memory and wondered whether there was buffer somewhere whose size I could increase.
So I will tweak that preference and give it a try. I have Hugin running a big stitch 12,000 x 6,000 stitch at the moment ... that will take another hour or so and then I will give the increased buffer a try later this evening. Do you know would a larger buffer improve performance generally? I have 5.5 Gb of RAM on this machine so I could easily give it more than 75Mb all the time. all the best George On 19 Apr, 17:53, Harry van der Wolf <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi George,, > > This same error was reported on Newyears day by "nobody" (hugin-Bugs-2480029). > Despite my request for more info we didn't get it. > I know there are some "irregularities" with malloc on OSX. > Ippei made a hack for it in the scripts we use and he added some (subtle) > comments: > # hack; AC_FUNC_MALLOC sucks!! > mv "./config.h" "./config.h-copy"; > sed -e 's/HAVE_MALLOC\ 0/HAVE_MALLOC\ 1/' \ > -e 's/rpl_malloc/malloc/' \ > "./config.h-copy" > "./config.h"; > > Maybe by now it hurst more than it helps. > (Sorry, I'm the builder not the developer.)
