[ADMB Users] gradstack buffer size error

[Mollie Brooks]

Hi,
I'm continually having problems with memory allocation. I don't  
understand the purpose of this error

  It appears that the size you are setting for the
  GRADSTACK_BUFFER is > 64K in a 16 bit word machine.This appears
  to be an error. The maximum size argument for the function
--- gradient_structure::set_GRADSTACK_BUFFER_SIZE(long int i) ---
should probably be  89478485
UINT_MAX = 4294967295
  i = 10000000000
  gs_size = 48
  i*gs_size = 480000000000

I really do need a buffer larger than this (otherwise I get a  
gradfil1.tmp >32GB). When I ask for a larger buffer in the command  
line (-gbs), it behaves erratically: sometimes it is enough and  
sometimes I get the gradfil1.tmp. It's very frustrating. The only  
difference between the different runs is the node on the cluster that  
the job goes to. Could that be causing the program to use different  
amounts of memory.
thanks,
Mollie
