cropped tiff output might help here, but i believe hugin would fail to 
produce any meaningful output with >100 images from a recent digital 
camera :)

i had a pano of ~40 pics and without cropped tiff output hugin just kept 
hitting 2gb boundary for a single process on 32b platform (at lest 
that's how pablo explained this o me :) ).

so, unless a workaround is implemented, 150 pic pano might just fail to 
build on 32b system at all (though you can always downscale source images)
