Hallo Christian, ich hab genau dasselbe Problem, bei mir kommt die Meldung: "Fehler: kann Vektor der Gr??e 7179 Kb nicht allozieren" Am mem.limit() kann es nicht liegen, denn dann w?rde eine Meldung kommen, die darauf hinweist, dass das Speichermaximum erreicht ist. An der Art, wie die Daten eingelesen werden, kann es auch nicht liegen, ich verwende z.B. keine Textdateien, sondern eine Datenbankabfrage per ODBC und habe trotzdem das Problem. Hat sich das Problem bei Dir inzwischen gel?st?
