     I  have  just  built  libg++-2.3  on  an SG Indigo (Irix 4.0.1) and
obtained an error during the checks.  The build was with gcc-2.3.3 using
./configure  mips-sgi-irix4.  I'm not sure whether the problem is in the
compiler or the library, so I'm posting this message to both bug lists. 


     The log of the build at the point of the error looks like this:

        gcc -O -nostdinc++ -I. -I../.. -I./.. -I./../stdio -I./../../g++-include  -c tformat.C
        gcc -o tformat tformat.o ../libio.a ../../libg++.a
        ./tformat
Encountered no errors in 3988 tests.
Virtual memory exceeded in `new'
*** Error code 255

Stop.


     If  I  compile  tformat.C with a "-D__PCCNECV70__" option then only
ca.  250 tests are included and the "cut-down" tformat executes  without
error. 


     The  problem I see here is that the test has actually completed (it
has reported no errors in its 3988  tests)  and  hence  the  program  is
terminating.   So why is there an error in "new"?  What is being created
on exit?
