memory size limits in Linux version

[Rob Scott <rscott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Ferret


Running ferret v.541 under Linux Red hat with a machine with 3GB of RAM, I can
SET MEMORY/SIZE=268

but no more, i.e.
SET MEMORY/SiZE=269
complains.

Our admin has sleuthed out that ferret was probably compiled on a machine 
with only 1G of memory, and that if
it were compiled on one with more memory then this command would operate on 
my machine.

Is this true? (Shall I obtain the source code and compile locally?)

Thanks
Rob
