Im my case I was using the developers kit. The patch involved setting up a "truncate" call after the application program was entered, but before the real "main" subroutine was called. "_end" marked the end of the data space for the job. If U are using the developers kit, then U have an out of date start-up routine. Later distributions of the software (gems and/or gemstart.o) do the memory deallocate for you at start-up. Buzz me if U want more specific help. Jon R Malone
