[Wien] segmentation fault error for beta-cristobalite

[Sam Leitch]

If I remember correctly, you said you were using IFC 9.0. I had 
basically the same problem after compiling with IFC 8.0.

It seems those compilers have a problem creating very large arrays. 
Instead of throwing an "Out of Memory" error or creating an array for 
that matter, they give a Segmentation Fault.

I fixed the problem by compiling everything using IFC7.1
