[MITgcm-support] domain size limit?

Hi Martin,
Ok, you use x86_64 version of compiler. And I suppose you don't specify any
additional parameters to the compiler like '-m32'.
Alas I don't have an Apple computer nearby to check the actual cause of the
problem. But I guess the clue to solve the issue may be found in the thread:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/xcode-users/2012/Jun/msg00118.html
And additional explanation is here:

Sincerely,
-Sergey
