this is yet another example of posted code's "all the world is a vax"
syndrome.
I have run into the same thing on Plexus machines, and Pixels, and an
Elxsi 6400 as well.
I got around it by looking for all large structures and arrays that
were declared as dynamic variables in a function.. move their
declaration outside the function body, maybe change the name, etc.
