memory exhausted -- trying to return to prompt

[Daniel Heiserer]

Hi,
I cannot allocate the memory I want:
(I already had a similar problem before)

octave:73> 12350000*8/1e6
ans = 98.8000000000000
octave:74> 100*1e6/8
ans = 12500000
octave:75> clear;a=zeros(1.24E7,1);
error: memory exhausted -- trying to return to prompt

octave:75> clear;a=zeros(1.235E7,1);
octave:76> version
ans = 2.0.14
octave:77> 

For me it looks like that octave cannot allocte
more memory then 100MB. (?)
Can anybody check this on other machines?
My machine is a:
---------------------------------------
Processor 15: 250 MHZ IP27 
Main memory size: 16384 Mbytes
Instruction cache size: 32 Kbytes
Data cache size: 32 Kbytes
IRIX64 6.5  IP27

Thanks Daniel
