[Radiance-general] Memory issue ranimate

[Gregory J. Ward]

It's part of the strategy for memory sharing.  When everything is  
finished, you can cat the persistence file (-P or -PP argument) and  
run "kill PID" where PID is replaced by the process ID from the  
file.  You don't need to reboot, and the process will die on its own  
after 8 hours.  (This is set by the TIMELIM #define in src/rt/ 
persist.c.)
