nviz_cmd.exe stops working in Grass6.5 and does not create the image - is this a known issue?

Also, in Grass 7.0, here is what I get:
GRASS 7.0.svn> nviz_cmd out0 color_map=out0 out=out0 zexag=0.00140 height=141.8

regions are set to my raster file in both cases - changing the region (zoom in or out) does not change the bytes of memory needed in GRASS7.0 case.

It tries to allocate 3.4GB of RAM. Does the machine offer this?

It depends on the resolution. You may need to decrease the resolution
with g.region
to make stuff fit into the memory of your computer. Remember that also
the operating
system consumes memory (the GRASS overhead is pretty low).

the machine has only 4GB Ram but I don’t think that’s the issue

this is the region after I changed to 5m resolution - previously it was at 1m. It is not a big region. I also tried changing the resolutions in the nviz_command - the error message is the same. So, changing the resolution, setting a smaller region, trying with another DEM does not change the error.
