[CPMD-list] memory problem

Hi,  I'm having a small memory problem.  Whenever I try to run a 50 
Rydberg cutoff, 198-atom run  on my 64 bit, 8 Gb Ram machine I get:


 INITIALIZATION TIME:                                1.10 SECONDS

  MEMORY| MEMORY REQUIRED:    280192852  WORDS


 PROGRAM STOPS IN SUBROUTINE MEMORY| TOO BIG VALUE
  999

This means it's using only 289 MB memory, right?  In my system memory 
manager it looks like it's using about a 1 Gb for a 40 Ryd cutoff run, 
which works (but is not accurate).  I can't imagine going to 50 Ryd uses 
up the other 6-7 Gb of Ram.  Any ideas if this is a cpmd max memory 
allocation problem or a mysterious hardware issue?
  Thanks,
    Brandon
