[GRASS-user] G_malloc: out of memory

[Kurt Springs]

Okay that worked (if I do it twice then restart grass, go figure.)

Anyway.  It keeps on happening.  I am trying to snap the nodes along  
my coastline.  I also have to draw three lines to enclose my water.   
For trying to snap the nodes, I have been using the MOVE VERTEX to  
attempt this (as per the book).  I am having a hard time getting it to  
snap.  I try increasing magnification, and that is when the G_malloc  
likes to strike.  So I want to do this in as few a steps as possible,  
and then get out.

Any thoughts.
