This previous discussion is somewhat hazy to me, but what I understand
is that yout program quits with an "out of memory".
Could it be that your kernel is built with the DFLDSIZ kernel parameter
set too low. The default value of this kernelparameter limits the data-
space of a process to 6Mb. which is much too low for a nice program.
Try setting it in your configfile to :

options      DFLDSIZ="(24*1024*1024)"
