Unfortunately, I did not yet have time (all of Wednesday was spent
traveling).

But here is a work-around in the meantime: start Fiji from the
command-line via

        /Applications/Fiji.app/Contents/MacOS/ImageJ-macosx --mem=6g

(substitute "6g" by whatever is appropriate). This will override any
automatic memory setting.

Ciao,
Johannes
