RISC6000s, GRASS4.1 ?

[imager at ccwf.cc.utexas.edu]

Great news about the vector fixes, Thanks!

The only image processing functions I have been having problems with are:

1) "i.pca" gives me a G_malloc erros whenever I use it on an image subscene 
   > than 900*900 pixels i.e. less than 1 Mb in GRASS compressed raster format?
   ...I don't understand why this is so as we have a 320 H with 32Mb RAM 
   & 64 Mb swap space (running AIX 3.2.1).

2) "r.mfilter" (and I think i.fft?) is very selfish with disk space...
   I tried running a 3 * 3 Laplacian edge enhancement filter on 
   a 1/4 SPOT scene (13Mb approx) and the program needed 8 times this amount
   of disk space to successfully write out the processed image to the
   $GISBASE/$Location/$Mapset/.tmp directory. I would like to edge enhance
   the full scene but can't afford the disk space. I suppose I could use 
   "r.patch" and accept a couple of erroneous pixels at the  "stitch" boundary
   between four quarter scenes...


|The G_malloc() problems are different for vectors and imagery. The

||Hi,
||
||Does anyone know if the problems with the vector and image processing
||functions of the GRASS4.0 port to IBM RISC6000s (particularly the 
||G_malloc errors) have been solved?
||
||Also, does anyone know if RISC6000s will be supported by GRASS4.1?
||
||Thanks in advance,
