I've successfully built it under SIMH v3.7-3 with 64MB assigned, OpenVMS VAX v7.3, C v6.4-005, host system Power Mac G5 dual 2GHz. PGFLQUO was 73444 and working set as follows: $ sh work Working Set /Limit=1024 /Quota=2048 /Extent=20500 Adjustment enabled Authorized Quota=2048 Authorized Extent=20500 You could try disabling compiler optimizations as your problem is very likely the compiler getting hung up trying to do an optimization that won't converge. -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
