  12. A month ago or so I reported that an Icon program terminated with bus error.
  13. I was then advised of the existence of version 8.7 of Icon and promptly
  14. installed it. The problem did not go away.
  15.  
  16. I found, however, that the problem vanished if I made STRSIZE large enough.
  17. Is this a known problem: that a too small STRSIZE can go undetected and
  18. cause a bus error?
