I don't know how relevant this might be - I only having a black-box QL
(JM).
I've often suffered from unexplained program [QL] crashes/missing extras
that were traced to linked m/c procs/fns not reserving enough memory for
the names: the mean len being > 7, eg although only 2 procs were being
added, their names totalled some 23 bytes [why can't people be more lazy
like me and use 'ALCHP' instead of 'ALLOCATION'? and these problems
don't occur] and thus "the number of procs" should be set to 3 or 4 [(#
chars + 7)/8]
