Older versions (pre 2.15) had problems in the math library. The new version is 
available for downloading from comp.binaries.mac or from the info-mac 
archives, and should fix the problem.

The time-honored solution for getting around the global data limit is to 
declare large static structures (arrays and the like) as pointers, and 
allocating blocks with NewPtr(). For example, instead of

	char a[35000]

use

	char a[] = NewPtr(35000 * sizeof(char));

This is identical to using an array, without eating the global space.
