what Nicolas said could well be the cause but there is one other thing you
should check.....
All users have a ".acedbrc" file in their home directory, this contains acedb
preferences which you can edit via the "Preferences" window from the xace main
window.
there are some blixem options that you should check, in particular BLIXEM_SCOPE
& BLIXEM_HOMOL_MAX. These control the number of matches passed from acedb to
blixem and it may be that you have these set at a level that means blixem is
being passed too many matches and then runs out of memory or there is some other
problem because of the number of matches.
Find the other persons .acedbrc and compare it to yours.
cheers Ed
