Thank you!
Reconfiguring the kernal was a successful solution. To reconfigure the
kernal on the SGI a tool called 'systune' can be used. The important
parameters are in the group 'resource'. After changing the maximum
settings of rlimit_vmem_max, rlimit_rss_max and rlimit_data_max I was able
to process even large data sets. The default setting for these parameters
on the O2 is 0x20000000 (512MB). I increased them by a factor of two and
did not see any prblems with other programms running in other shells.
Thanks again for the fast response
