Shane,

   Yes. As long as you have sufficient memory and drive space. You can always
set the environment variable in ~/.bash_profile:

export=GRASS_VECTOR_LOWMEM=1

which will use available memory and not crash, while running more slowly.

   If I'm wrong I'm sure we'll both read about it. :-)

HTH,

Rich
