Hi Bernard,

    would you be willing to upload image and changes to my ftp site so could take a look?  I shall destroy it as soon as I've diagnosed the problem.  If there is intellectual property in the image you could encrypt the archive and communicate the password to me.

The site is ftp.mirandabanda.org, use is cog ftp user as a single word and the password is cogging with the usual digit substitutions for "oi".

The image is a 5.1 trunk image into which I loaded a large JSON file. It is 2.66 GB in size. I am on OS X 10.10.5 and use the latest CogSpur.app r3427. I tried all CogSpur VMs back to r3343. They fail the same way.
