Amos -

I wasn't suggesting that you need enough RAM to store the whole scan. In fact, my point was meant to be that you do need enough disk space, usable as Temp, to store a surprisingly large amount of data in addition to enough RAM to run the program. I would expect running out of either would give similar "out of resources" errors. The tendency is, for those with limited experience with scanning, to underestimate the amount of disk space needed for scanning.

My comments have to be considered as "generic scanning info," since I know little about the details of Mac setup. I did not intend to say "this is a solution to your problem," just "here's something about scanning in general."
