Hi Tim,

from a quick look I'd agree that it doesn't sound good. FIGARO doesn't
handle memory allocation in quite the same way as our normal code, so it
may or may not be a big job, I'm not sure. Maybe Malcolm knows better.

For general image processing commands, as has been noted before, you'd 
probably be better off switching to the KAPPA equivalents anyway.

Cheers,

Peter.
