Can anyone tell me why Domain Pascal limits (local data structures +
code) to 262144 (2**18) for all procedures.  This forces one to declare
these items statically at a higher level than desirable.  In some cases,
I have used dynamic allocation within a procedure of the large
structure, but have run into problems (apparent bugs, jury still out)
with pointers to large data structures (1-8MB).
