[Scilab-users] scilab 6.1 crashes when trying to load big matfile (loadmatfile)

[Clément David]

Hello Antoine,

There might be some extra copies at loading time that overflow the memory ; what's the amount of memory you have available ?

And also, to investigate, could you please either share a script used to generate similar data or describe the used data structure ?

Thanks,

Clément
