this is with enblend from cvs.

Dear Michael,

Please use additional option --fine-mask for enblend.

Kind regards,
Guido

yes, thank you, that helped, but another enblend issue:

Creating blend mask: 1/4 2/4 3/4 4/4

enblend: out of memory
std::bad_alloc
make: *** [third.tif] Error 1

i tried passing enblend the -m 2048 flag think it would limit it to 2G but it still
consumes all ram (4G) and swap (2G) and halts .

i am experiencing the same problem as described in the original post.
i have tried adding --fine-mask to no avail. i am using enblend from
cvs, running on gentoo linux (64 bit).

What system do you use? I recall having similar issues on FreeBSD since the amount of memory that the kernel can allocate for a single process was limited due to security reasons. (I.e. ignoring the actual available RAM). It helped to tell enblend to use less memory (enblend -m 512) or change the limit for kernel (I do not remember how anymore). However, I do not have this problem on linux kernel with current development version of enblend.
