The Flight loader(s) read each file processed into a heap
allocated buffer. Files > 330k are routine I would think.
I can see a problem where a large database with nested
external references could run out of memory on a limited
system. For instance: a 10M database externally references
a 20M database equals a total of 30M of heap memory. Once
a file is processed its memory is freed. Also heap
fragmentation could prevent a successful large allocation.
