[FLASH-USERS] ERROR: unable to allocate temp particle buffer

[Paul M. Rich]

Latif,

What is your MaxParticlesPerProc?  If this is too high, at a high 
resolution you can run out of memory to allocate from the heap.  Does it 
work if you lower the MaxParticlesPerProc? Serial IO requires a 
secondary particle buffer to  move data from the master pe to the other 
pe's on read-in.  Also, about how much memory do you have per core on 
the machine you're trying this on?
