[Ifeffit] Athena problem

[Paul Fons]

  I have had similar experiences with OS X, but the problem is rare  
and I don't know how to reproduce it.  I haven't seen it in the  
latest versions of athena so I was hoping it was fixed.  It only  
seemed to happen as I recall when the project was very big.  Another  
problem I haven't seen recently was the "out of memory" problem when  
using a large number of groups (more than 50? -- I don't really have  
a number).  I am curious if this problem has been fixed as well.  I  
haven't seen the out of memory error either recently, but it may just  
be that I am avoiding large projects because I am subconciously  
afraid it will happen again.  Certainly there is no limit on the OS  
side.  I don't know of any reproducible errors in horae at the moment.
