How can this be? If NS ran out of memory after two hours of use it would
affect everybody. Yet this is the first post concerning the problem, and in
all the time I've used NS on linux its only happened once (I was doing a lot
of stuff in the background at the time). It may be related to the version
(professional/standalone) or maybe something else thats running at the same
time.
