Hi Philipp and Jonathan, -Ofcourse, Jonathan is right. I was thinking in the direction: If allocation fails, you have the chance of trying with a smaller buffer. (I often do this myself, when the size of the buffer can be reduced). Personally, I always try making my code, so it has low requirements, but can take advantage of available resources.
