[Swarm-Support] xmalloc error: is there a limit on object creation?

[Steve Railsback]

Hi-

Running a number of different models in Windows Swarm, I get a memory 
allocation error when there seems to be plenty of memory available. As I 
gradually increase the number of initial agents in the model, I hit a 
threshold above which the model crashes during agent creation, the error 
being:

/src/Swarm/swarm/src/misc/xmalloc.c:26 xmalloc

This happens even though Swarm is using little of the available memory.

Now, I was running a big model and it crashed with the same error (after 
running for about 14 hours). Also when there appeared to be plenty of 
memory available.

Is there a limit placed somewhere in how much memory Swarm can have? 
What else might cause this?

Thanks,

Steve
