Simple fix.  As I recall XBBS is made up of a few HUGE source files.  Simply
split the .c files into smaller chunks.

aline == At LINE 13300

Hash Table overflow == too many symbols defined in this C source file.
You are allowed a symbol table of 64k in size (not 64K symbols!) and this
file is generating more than that.

(I took xbbs vers 6 or so and split it into one file/function and it compiled
without any problems.  I trashed it because it (at the time) was a rather
hokey BBS system. IHMO)
