This is an unlikely explanation.  The M-120 in question is running with
100MB of swap space - two 40M partitions and 1 20MB, on three different
spindles.

Also, max user process size is set to 8MB - however, 800000*(4 bytes/int)=
(about) 3.2 MB.  No way is the assembler taking the other 4.8 MB.

Also, an error message like:
	as1: Error: , line 0: Not enough space
		   ^^^^^^^^^
is not useful.
