You said earlier that it failed when you tried it with 1.6 million objects (which I take to mean that was the value of NUM_POINTS). I'm not surprised; that would have tried to allocate four and a half gigabytes of memory! > [ lots of code snipped ] I also recommend that you start learning about the standard library; you're reinventing a lot of wheels here. -- Ross Smith ......................
