Hi Elaine: sorry for my bad wording.

That's the solution. I should have reviewed that part of the help. If
I can invent an excuse, perhaps I was tired from much other work
today.

I have no more looked at the "segmentation fault" on i386; I am using
64bit chimera also because of huge files.

Thanks
