It retrospect this seems like a simple problem, the solution t which is probably in the FAQs, if I had a copy. The problem, I have discovered after some experimentation is that if the executable text + stack + malloc > 400000 bytes the systems refuses to recognize it as executable. If someone has faced this problem and solved it I'd appreciate it if you drop me an email note. Thanks a lot. In my previous posting I forgot to mention that I've got virtual consoles installed also. Thanks in advance, Donald Cox cox@qucis.queensu.ca
