    Hi,

    I'm wondering if there is any memory limitation in Gnuplot?
    I'm using a Bash script for handling of log information. Gnuplut will be invoked in the script to create graphs.
    There seems to a 2GB limit. If my logs are bigger, it seems like Gnuplot can't handle it.
    Is there a 2GB limit? I'm using Gnuplot 3.7.3

      No, there isn't.

      That's much more probably a system limit.  2GB in a single process on a 32-bit machine is quite an achievement already.  Expecting more would be courageous.

      Too vague.  What actually happens?

      Why?  That's many years below the horizon!
