[Eeglablist] bem_matrix.exe failing

[Paul Czienskowski]

Hi Zeynep,

thanks for your fast and helpful answer. It's good to know why it fails 
and I will try to get it running on some machine with more resources 
now. Fortunately where I am there's no real lack of resources, so this 
wont be any Problem.

Cheers,
Paul
