Hmm...  those queries really shouldn't stretch memory requirements too
much -- the mrna objects are already in memory, so for the most part any
extra memory is taken up by the output streaming through the server.
Steve, can you send me the log file for the server when it was hitting
these out-of-memory errors?

	Thanks,
	Gregg
