	We have compiled the r.le program on a Sun Sparc and Apollo 730
	series.  So far, we have not been successful running the r.le.patch
	or r.le.dist.  We get an error stating that there is a memory 
	allocation fault.  The program then aborts.  Does anyone have
	any clues on how to fix this?  Our Sparc has 64MB RAM and the
	Apollo 32MB.

	Thank you for any helpful comments.
