I am trying to build a kernel on a NetBSD 1.1/sparc machine.  The
build works with no problems, except for the "ip_icmp.c" file.  When
this is compiled, I get "memory exhausted" every time.  It just kept
growing and growing.  It was somewhere over 200 MB when it stopped.
It seems to me that for the size of that file, it should not need
anywhere near that much memory.  Can anyone shed some light on this
problem?

Thanks,
allman
