[Symphony] Symphony

[Ted Ralphs]

There's no limit within SYMPHONY itself. Windows, however, limits
processes to at most 2G of memory:

I assume you must be running the 64-bit Windows? What version? In any
case, having 12G does not actually buy you an increase in the memory
accessible by a single process.

Cheers,

Ted
