SIGH ....

yes, we hashed this one out before.  on the hp9000 series 800, it takes
upward of 25Meg to optimize eval.c.  i have 64 Meg of memory and around
180Meg of swap.  this is under 3.10 of hp/ux.  our 7.0 tapes were 
recalled before shipment due to a problem with multi-volume fbackups.
you didn't say whether you had a 300 or 800 series HP.  the OS version
numbers match now for both series despite different processors.

once again...  eval.c is a hog, but the "make" takes around 40 minutes on
my 9000/850.  it is a kick-butt machine.  HP's cc is NOT broken, just tries
to be a bit too efficient at times.

bill.
