Would there have been some significant change to the workings of sys$expreg
between vms 4.1 and 4.3 such that the call now takes a lot *longer* to
return?  We have an old application that assumes some large number, does
sys$expreg with that as an argument, decrements the argument by a page,
and keeps doing so until it succeeds.  Now said application takes about
4 hours to start up due to this changed behavior.  What gives??
