[CWB] cwb-align-encode runs out of memory

[Yannick Versley]

Hi Jörg,

this is just generic advice, but the last time I had a problem of that
sort, running
the program under valgrind gave some very helpful infos.

In the source, "-D" is explained as "use the directory of the source
corpus"; considering
that it writes files for an alignment attribute that sounds rather
reasonable.
Also judging from the source, "-C" makes it write a .alg file whereas
otherwise it will
only write a .alx file (these have different requirements regarding
ordering and contiguity,
it seems, and the comments seem a bit more positive about the "new" .alx
file format)

Best,
Yannick
