[Opensim-users] Intermittent crashing - System.OutofMemoryException

Wow, it really was that simple.  I successfully split off a few regions
into a separate instance on FleepGrid with no trouble at all.

The key, as Gary mentioned, was uncommenting the http_listener_port line
(267 in my opensim.ini file) and incrementing the TCP port (in my case to
9001) for the new instance.

Thanks Gary!  I'll have to work out how to split the regions up logically
for our UCSIM grid but I'm surprised it's that simple!  Yay!  :)
