Dear Boyu,

Your problem should disappear if you reduce WHAT(4), WHAT(5) or WHAT(6)
on the continuation (second) line of your USRBIN card. It is not a
matter of USRBIN location or USRBIN volume. It's a matter of the number
of bins, which is nx*ny*nz. Consider 3 cases:
#1 A 1 km x 1 km x 1 km volume divided into 100 scoring voxels;
#2 A 1 mm x 1 mm x 1 mm volume divided into 100 scoring voxels;
#3 A 1 mm x 1 mm x 1 mm volume divided into 1000 scoring voxels.

#1 and #2 will require the same memory footprint for scoring. #3 will
require 10 times more.
