Why FF with dlc option demands so much of RAM?

Hi,
I tried to run in direct or conventional mode on 8-40 cores the input with line

$zmat   dlc=.t. auto=.t. $end

(of course, in $Contrl I insert nzvar=…).

In all cases I see in outputs strange demand to give fantastic amount of RAM – for example, in attached output (conventional mode) FF want to have about 800 mwords for its modest needs. Deleting from input option by option (only excess options :) ) I've found out that this requirement is generated with an dlc option.
Notice, behavior is identical both for 40 cores (5 nodes) and for 8 cores (1 node, 24 Gb RAM). In direct FF demands less memory but if receives it in input then puts forward the new requirement…
After dlc option removal the input was started in direct with 120 mwords only and now is running (on each node FF use about 3 Gb).
I have made something incorrectly?
