Hi,

When I type the following commands in vmd console:
mol new ADP01.mol2
ls
mol new ADP02.mol2
ls
... and so on, everything goes fine. However, if try to read the different
conformations as a trajectory:
mol new ADP01.mol2
ls
mol addfile ADP02.mol2
ls

then I get the error "couldn't fork child process: not enough memory", although
I still can load more frames to the molecule. The molecule has only 40 atoms
(ADP). Other than that, vmd seems to work normally, except for calling linux
commands and external programs (such as msms or tachyon). What could that be?

I'm using VMD 1.8.6 and Ubuntu 7.04, with 512MB RAM.

Thanks,
Rui Rodrigues
