12Gb total, but still...  I'll grab some more failure info and get
back to you.  In serial it ran fine, and took about 1 hour for both
[density,cellmass] and [density,cellvolume] within the default
head-node allowance on nautilus, which is 12Gb.  Timing wise longer
than I want to deal with, but it does run.
