That's scratch file size we're talking about-you can get up to that 
limit very quickly if you're editing even 200MB in 16 bit. And yes, 
until I discovered that limit and reformatted, I got 'running out of 
drive-space' notices constantly, even with a total of 16GB od 
scratch drives, most of which wern't being used. In fact, I never 
found a PS temp file in any but the first two scratch drives!
