Hello

I'm trying to load a large terrain database (about 70 MB)
in a Performer 1.2 based DIS simulation on a 4 processor, 3 pipe ONYX with
256 MB of RAM. When running in single pipe mode, the database
loads and the application runs fine, however in 3 pipe mode I get
the following alerts:

Performer Fatal: libpf: Unable to allocate 80 bytes from arena 0x18080000.
Try using a filesystem bigger than (262144.00Kbytes).
Use the PFTMPDIR environment variable or pfTmpDir

Performer Fatal: libpf: Unable to allocate 80 bytes from arena 0x18080000.
Try using a filesystem bigger than (262144.00Kbytes).
Use the PFTMPDIR environment variable or pfTmpDir

Performer Fatal (2): libpf: Unable to allocate 80 bytes from arena 0x18080000.
Try using a filesystem bigger than (262144.00Kbytes).
Use the PFTMPDIR environment variable or pfTmpDir

I have set the PFTMPDIR variable as recommended to a directory other
 than /usr/tmp and have increased the swap area, but still get the same alert.
 Could it be that I will need,more RAM to run a shared memory intensive
  application such as this or is there another solution? Thanx.

  Jim
