[GRASS-user] r.los crashing

[Paolo Cavallini]

Hi all.
While running r.los at increasing values for obs_elev and max_dist, the module starts
crshing, e.g.:

r.los input=dtm at PERMANENT coordinate=1676844,4830417 obs_elev=50 max_dist=5000
output=los4
Using maximum distance from the viewing point (meters): 5000.000000
Module crashed or killed

This both from QGIS plugin and from the console.

Lowering resolution "solves" the problem, so I guess it's a problem with memory.
GRASS 6.4.0~rc5+40109-1 from Debian unstable.
Seems the same as http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/111 , right?
Any fix within sight?
All the best.
