Dear all,

I am trying to open a 12Gb byte sgy/su file using seismic unix, and I get the below error message. 

/home/subbarao/SU43R3/bin/ximage: ealloc.c: malloc failed (Cannot allocate memory)

Is there a file size limitation in SU? or is the error related to display or something? Do I need to change any settings? 

Thank you and look forward to your early response.

Cheers,

Subbarao.
