One of my friends ran into 'bus error' problem in his fortran program.
When we used dbx to check the program, it stuck at a simple assign
statement.  His program has deep nested loop with subroutines inside.
I was suspecting that the local variables might run out of the stack
since its deep nested loop.  Is it possible to run into this kind of
situation?  How can I check it?  How can I fix it (say enlarge stack
size)?  I don't leave out other possibilities that his program may
have other bugs.  He has a SUN 4/110 running SunOS 4.0.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
