Depending on the options I choose, I keep running into lz/lzma
reporting: "ERROR: Can't allocate required memory!".
This can occur before or during compression. The lz/lza process tends to
stop after gaining about 400MB on the process; then it exits with this
error. The problem does not appear to be how much available memory I
have but rather q question of why the process can't seem to allocate it.
Any advice?
Matt D.
