[DFTB-Plus-User] MODES (normal modes tool): probable bug for big enough system

It could be a general question about setting memory limits in your shell.
if using tcsh look up: limit and setting memory to unlimited
If using bash do: ulimit -s unlimited
It is hard, or should I say troublesome, to make all memory allocated.

Kind regards Nick
