Thanks for the reply. It's unlikely that the machine didn't have enough
physical memory, since the particular machine I was working on has over
3G total and at least 1G free when I ran the program. Also, if I were
to use the radiopt=1 option, is there any way I could circumvent the
inconsistency between pbsa and gaff, say by modifying the pbsa code to
recognize small letter, or visa verse?
