st: Re: mata->stata code

According to mata help ml_limits, your matrix will require something  
on the order of 9.375 gigabytes ((64+20000000*60*8)/1024000).  
Although Mata will allow you to have over two billion rows and/or two  
billion columns in an array, you will need quite a bit of RAM to set  
up this matrix...
