I think what it says is that we are overrunning "nmask", whose length is
shorter than MAXNODES.

I agree, also 'nmask[i / (8*sizeof(unsigned long))]' is there often.
How about something like:

#define bitsperlong (8 * sizeof(unsigned long))
void set_bit(unsigned long *b, unsigned int n, unsigned int v)
{
        if (v)
                b[n / bitsperlong] |= 1UL << (n % bitsperlong);
        else
                b[n / bitsperlong] &= ~(1UL << (n % bitsperlong));
}
set_bit(nmask, node, 1);

Jan
