I would like to learn something here so I will state the obvious and
see why I am wrong.  A structure where each element exceeds 64k with
a thousand elements is a 64Meg structure.  It does not seem to me to 
be unusual that OS/2 is trying to allocate a 64Meg slice of virtual
memory which translates into a 64Meg addition to your swapper file.
It seems natural that 20Meg of (free) disk space is not enough.  I
to am using emx/gcc 0.8e and though not as ambitious am also using
structures that have large elements and many elements in the structure.
Is this right?

Matt
