On workstation machines that have virtual memory you should just set
EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES to some large number like 10000000 (maybe even bigger
if you're going to be transferring images around over CA) and forget about
trying to get the value exactly right. Doing that really doesn't waste memory
since the OS won't allocate physical RAM for the whole buffer until it's
actually used. The only place where you may need to be careful with the
setting for EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES is on an embedded system (vxWorks or
RTEMS) that has a limited amount of RAM.

An error is only a mistake if you don't learn from it.
When you learn something from it, it becomes a lesson.
