We have a FORTRAN program which runs correctly under VMS, UNICOS, and Stellix.

When we run it on a Decstation 3100 we get the message:

grow failed because stack limit exceeded, pid xxxxx, proc xxx
ts = 0xc1, ds = 0xdc7, ss = 0x2f

The program then runs for a few more minutes before crashing with:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Can anyone explain this message, and the possible cause?

We have 65mb of swap space on local disk, and the machine is otherwise
treated as diskless.



Thanks in advance.


Bruce.
