That error indeed comes from mplib, but from the overflow test in
realloc(), not the memory array "overflow" function. You get this
error when you attempt to allocate more than 2^31 bytes. Since that
clearly should not happen, there is a bug somewhere in MPlib. But
I'll need your source to dig it out. (likely you do something we
have never tested yet).


Best wishes,
Taco
