	The error message tells you that f2c's symbol table is full.  You
have two ways to correct the problem:
	
	BAD:  Adjust the constant MAXHASH in defs.h to increase the table
		size, recompile and reinstall f2c.
	GOOD: Following the advice in the error message, run f2c exactly as
		you did before, but with the additional command-line option
		"-Nn802" (you needn't use quotes).  F2c has several
		(admittedly undocumented) command-line options for
		increasing the length of its fixed-length tables.  Whenever
		such a table fills up, it will suggest that you try again,
		using twice the current limit.

	If you want a list of *all* the command-line options, check out the
definition of    static arg_info table[]    in    main.c.
