I'm using THINK C to open a resource on a file.  When the resource fork is 
large, as on an application program file, I get a system error code -108, 
memFullErr, Not enough memory in heap zone.  When I try to do a printf on 
a subsequent statement, everything stops.  The code looks like this:

intmyFileID;               /* returned ID number of file   */
intResErrorNo;             /* return code from error routine*/
Str255  myfilnam;            /* file name in Pascal format   */
   .
     .
     .
myFileID = OpenResFile (myfilnam); /* open the resource file*/
ResErrorNo = ResError();
PtoCstr((char *) myfilnam);        /* convert to C string for display*/
printf("\nThe file name is: %s",myfilnam);

*** bomb ***

Can anyone explain / help?  I'm new to Mac programming.
