Can you think of anything that may have changed in recent versions of Athena that may have aggravated the problem? It seems like it's happening more often now, and suddenly taking X with it every time. Freezing X makes this a much bigger problem than if we just crash Athena.
I cannot imagine what's causing this. I wouldn't say that anything substantial has changed in Ifeffit+friends.
In the short term, any advice on what is important hardware-wise for running Athena would be greatly appreciated. If we can't find a fast solution for Athena related X crashes we will need to set up a dedicated system to run it so it doesn't take down our control stations.
That's not a horrible idea in any case. You could compile up a ginormous version of Ifeffit, link Athena to it, and run into the memory problem much less often.
