Dear Dr. Henning Heiberg-Andersen,

Did you set the MAXMEMORYUSAGE key also in the EPR input?
That is crucial. If this does not solve the problem, you should add
something like

VECTORLENGTH 10
ALLOW SMALLBLOCKS

in your EPR input. This will make the calculation slower (because only
10 integration points instead of the default 128 are treated
simultaneously,
which is not optimal because of some extra overhead), but it will make
sure that the EPR program needs significantly less memory.
More precisely, it will use 12.8 times less memory for those arrays
related to the integration grid. In the EPR code some of the largest
arrays are of this type.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
Stan van Gisbergen
