 I tried to run r.stream.basins on using large flow direction / stream maps
 generated with r.watershed.

 With m-flag and memory option set to 35GB (~2/3 of the RAM of my system)
 the process got killed (by out-of-mmemory-killer) after input maps were
 read.

 So, I re-ran the module with a smaller amount of memory allocated (20 and
 10 GB) in the memory option and monitored memory usage (UNIX top command).
 There I found that r.stream.basisns used 2x the amount of RAM allowed, on
 each input map. In other words, with memory=10000, it used

 20GB for reading flow direction map, plus

 20GB for reading streams map (40GB in total).

 Finally, the process gets killed when it starts finding nodes.

 I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit and GRASS 7.0 (revision 58620).
