[Gate-users] Repeat Number

[Larry Byars]

Hello P.T.

Think about what you are asking Gate to try to do...2000 * 2000 * 2000 
objects - thats 8 Billion objects which if they only required 1 byte for 
storage would need 8 GBytes. My guess is they need a whole lot more than 
that and you are probably running our of virtual memory as the system 
tries to accommodate your request. Why not try 200*200*200 and keep 
increasing until it won't work.

My 2 cents worth...
