memory erorr

[Daniel Heiserer]

Hi,
I work wiht 32bit octave on IRIX64.
I want to load a file
fort.41.mat (matlab4 file) which is not small:

1588219885 May 11 10:06 fort.41.mat

Sometimes I can load the data, but I cannot save it then.
==> "memory exhausted"

When I try to load again I always fail.

octave:clear all
octave:load fort.41.mat
error: memory exhausted -- trying to return to prompt
-----------------------------------------------------------
I also get an error when I creat a large vector 
and then save it:

octave:e=zeros(200000000,1);
octave:save tmp
octave:save -mat4-binary tmp.mat
octave:exit
panic: Bus error -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to `octave-core'...
