Description

I got the following error when I tried to make a substack:
... averaging stack for summary web page
Traceback (most recent call last):

I think I am using memmap incorrectly.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1661986/why-doesnt-pythons-mmap-work-with-large-files

We need to scrap memmap, I do not think 1 particle per iteration is ideal, but we can check system memory and do a chunk of particles at a time.

I already have the tools do implement the functionality, but I do not have the time. Probably a good idea to create a class for handling stack files.

P.S. Scott you should add yourself as a watcher on these bugs as well.

Well what should we do? Appion trunk and branch3.2 is broken almost entirely with the current setup.

So what is using the new approc2d right now? Makestack should be okay. It is only crashing on the average stack step correct?

I changed averageStack back to EMAN1 in r19126

since we're back to using eman1 I added code to write an LST file so this will work with virtual substacks
