[Octopus-users] inherent memory limits?

Hello,
I'm trying to run a simulation that takes a lot of memory, on a computer
that has even more memory, and it's failing.
Specifically, I'm getting an error:
**************************** FATAL ERROR *****************************
*** Fatal Error (description follows)
*--------------------------------------------------------------------
* Failed to allocate 122581 Kb in file 'td_rti.F90' line 287
*--------------------------------------------------------------------
* Stack:
**********************************************************************
But the node I'm running on has 32 Gb of memory, and I get this error
after the code has buffered just over 6 Gb of memory, and used 2.25 Gb,
at the beginning of the time dependent calculation.
I'm wondering if there is some inherent limit in the code that would
cause this error even if I have plenty of memory available.
My pbs submission script contains the lines:
#PBS -l nodes=1:emt64,pmem=32000mb,vmem=32000mb -W
x=NACCESSPOLICY:SINGLEJOB
#PBS -q hugemem
#PBS -j oe
limit stacksize unlimited
which I have reason to believe (but not certainty) are supposed to allow
me to use the 32 Gb.
Can anybody suggest reasons I can't access more memory?
Oh, and:
