Dear ImageJ,

I have been using FIJI for a while now on a 2.7GHz i5 iMac (with 16Gb RAM), to do image processing and analysis on 3D CT volumes, with no problems.

However, having just recently updated FIJI, I now seem to be hitting lots of memory related problems, and have been unable to increase the memory that FIJI is using beyond 6007Mb. I keep getting an error stating:

"ImageJ is unable to change the memory limit. For more information refer to installation notes at http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/docs/install/     The ImageJ application (ImageJ.app) was not found. Current limit: 6007Mb"

I have searched through the forums and the installation notes, and have checked (and purged) my RAM, but cannot get FIJI to up the memory sufficiently to deal with image stacks that I have previously been able to handle with no problems. Does anyone have any suggestions of the cause of this issue?
