Describe the issue:

Hi,

I'm currently using the latest version of suite2p. When I try to run from the GUI, I end up with this error message. Could you help me? I really have no idea what's <<Input buffer size wasn't large enough.>> means... I'm trying to process 12 files of 1.5Gb each. I was wondering if it was not due a RAM problem, but even with only 2 files the problem remains...

Thank you!

Antoine
