		Since the latest distribution I've received from comp.mail.maps,
		my attempts to build a new pathalias database result in pathalias
		hanging forever while taking up about 4.5 MEGS of core.
	I had the same problem and tracked it down to an infinite loop involving
	bcsinc (in u.usa.ca.1) and rt1 (in u.usa.nm.1).  Since the NM map was not
	changed recently and that CA map arrived last night, I concluded that it was
	a problem with bcsinc.  Sure enough, commenting the bcsinc entry out of the
	CA map solved the problem.
I had the same problem, noticing it when pathalias was
already consuming 23 Megs (!) of core. I didn't bother
tracking it down, but picked up the current pathalias
from uunet, installed it and the problem went away....
