i have a very large run file; this accomodates around 10 entities, of which the
first 3 are basically packages; however when i am in entity #10, i realize i
need to work on package #1; at this time i use a RUN file consisting of the 
other 10 run files; 

when i do this more than once ( or so) the compiler just hangs; on doing a 
trace -p [pid] i get into a endless loop of some-thing-i-donot-understand; at
this point the only alternative is to delete -lib -all [root-library]; then
when i go thro' the different run files induvidually, every thing is back to 
normal;

has anyone had this problem before? lastly would it be advisable to use 'revhd'
instead ? questions is how to use revhd and what is it? which entity(s) do i
need to do 'revhd'? if i do #10 would all the others get updates too?
