	We have a very large simulation program here that's written
	in C.  When we load it into dbx, it takes up twenty times as
	much memory as it's source files alone;  this is causing our
	VAX 11/780, which is running 4.3 BSD UNIX, to run out of memory (!!!).
	Can anyone out there offer some expert suggestions/tricks as to how
	to reduce the memory requirements for dbxing this program?
