   We are porting X V11 to a SysV lookalike.  We actually have

      "<filename>", line <nnn>: compiler error: dimension table overflow
   ...
   Has anyone else encountered this or a similar problem?

Yes, I've seen that, in a 3B15 SysV.2.1.1 system I used when at AT&T.
It was necessary to rebuild the compiler with a bigger symbol table
size.  More recent releases of the compiler arrange to malloc() space
as required, which is of course The Right Way to do it anyway.  See if
you can get a more recent release.
