Comment 7 for bug 554541

Reverting to the previous method only returns us to the situation in the original post. From both my log (revision 6183) and the log in the bug description:

ERROR: SpecialZoneArray( 8 )::SpecialZoneArray: QFile( "D:/StellariumUserData/stars/default/stars_8_2v0_0.cat" .map( 5242912 , 701538504 ) failed: "Not enough storage is available to process this command."

Note that QFile::map() fails at exactly the same place.

I think that the reason is insufficient memory. Which is strange, because on my computer this happens only in Windows, not in Ubuntu - I can load all catalogs there. Linux has better memory management? :) The compiler adds less bloat?
