Dear Bob,

I am a user of the program of ACP. However, recently, it can show up the error of "Image error: out of memory" sometimes. I don't know whether other users have met the similar situation, and I don't know how to deal with it either.

I have already tried the ACP version of 8.0, 8.1, together the MDL version from 5.21 to 6.08, but it seemed that all of these cannot help. This error raises up irregularly, and always shows up from time to time after running half of the whole night. Personally, I think it is the problem of memory overflow when the shoot ends while the MDL is making the preview picture.

Could you tell me how to avoid this kind of error? And the log documents are as following.

Thanks a lot.
