Running Grass 5.0beta10 compiled on Redhat 6.2.
Nviz runs fine on-screen, but I am having problems with rendering and saving a
large animation.

The Save function in the Keyframe Animation panel writes a file, with obvious
places for all the values, but it does not save the values for from-x,y,z or
dir-x,y,z. It saves only zeroes in their places, so the path is lost.
Conversely, the >File >Save State command works fine.

When rendering, the program crashes after it uses up all the RAM and swap space
on the system. This takes about 140 frames @ 640x480. (256MB RAM + 128MB Swap)
The memory usage is proportional to the total size of all of the output image
files. The program will not release any memory until it is shut down. It does
save the output files correctly, one frame at a time, as they are created.

It does a great job until it dies. But since it won't save path information, it
is impossible to do the animation in pieces as a workaround.

Have I configured something incorrectly?
Any suggestions welcome.

TIA
