Re: [FLASH-USERS] the windtunnel run was aborted because of the maxblock prob.

There are three things you can play with here. What you set the value of
lrefinemax determines how many blocks you'll end up generating. As a first
step, you can try setting the value of MAXBLOCKS higher at setup time.
That might be able to take you up to the level of resolution you want.
However, if you have already set maxblocks as high as it will go, then you
have to either decrease "lrefinemax" or add more memory.
