 The $TMP_DIR defaults to /tmp/mksynk and /tmp is usually limited to half the size of your memory.
 You change the $TMP_DIR in the script in /usr/bin/msynk or temporarily increase the size of the tmpfs by running `sudo mount -o remount,size=XXG,noatime /tmp` if your $TMP_DIR is on /tmp and you have at least XXGB memory+swap space.
