Dear IDV User,

Thanks for reporting this problem. It is indeed a bug related to systems with 
low memory. (It has nothing to do with 32 vs 64 bit architecture, I think.) 
Please try the latest nightly build tomorrow, and let us know if the problem is 
still present. Note the IDV requires at least 512MB.
