v2.14 dies after Paste Options

[asavage]

Hello:

I created a new image:
File->New->Image,
7200w x 6000h

Then I use to paste a image from the clipboard, and PMView closes. I started PMView with /log=pmview.log. Here are the results:

System is W4 FP13, 256mb RAM

Hmmm... Out of memory...

7200x6000x24/8 = 129 MB...

Working with this image will require 256 MB RAM or virtual memory. Note, however, that this memory usually is available in form of SWAP space, so you don't need to have that amount of RAM.

What is the size of the image you tried to paste and what application had put it on the clipboard?

According to the log, your system is is WSeB (Warp 4.5). Does this also occur on Warp 4/FP13 ?

FWIW, this could be a display driver issue, since the clipboard operation heavily depends on the display driver.

I just tested it here. I put a 768x512 image on the clipboard. Then I selected File->New->Image, 7200x6000. Then I pasted in the image from the clipboard. No problem!
Warp4/FP12, 128MB RAM, Matrox G200

The size of the image which I'm trying to paste is approximately 3600w x 5100h. It was placed in the clipboard by PMView.

I am running W4 FP13 with one of the FP14 kernels, which is why the system reports v4.5. I currently have access to only this one Warp system (I have substantially reduced the number of computers here).

Video is Matrox G400 16mb AGP, 2.36.106, BIOS v1.6.

I am able to paste smaller images to this large new image without problem. As I raise the size of the image placed into the clipboard, at some point PMView begins to close again.

I suspect that this is a memory swapper error with this system, based upon your comments. Swap space available exceeds 1gb, but the the symptom does seem consistent.
