- I had the same problem compiling petdingo at the bison.simple parser output
- with lots of macros, using g++. I have no problems compiling gcc-2.2.2 using
- gcc only(no g++). I have 16Mbyte RAM and 15Mbyte swap.
- I tried to increase it by 7Mbyte more but cannot create additional swap
- partition using disklabel 0.1. Maybe disklabel 0.0 may work but I do not
- have that copy any more.

- : You have probably encountered a software limit on memory.
- :
- : In csh (maybe also in the other shells, but I use csh (well, actually
- : tcsh 8-) )) there is command named limit. I'm not at my 386BSD computer
- : now, so I'm not sure of the names, but do limit and look for things that
- : may be called: stacksize, datasize, and memoryuse.
- : Increase these values as wanted.
-
- I had tried running as root, ash, csh, and bash without success.
- I'll try raising other parameters.
