Verdix Ada uses 320 Mbytes of memory on an SGI

Verdix Ada uses 320 Mbytes of memory on an SGI

[cis.ohio-state.edu!zaphod.mps.ohio-state.edu!howland.reston.ans.net!ira.u]

The compilation of a very large Ada - source forces the following 

Error message : 


  34:with text_io;
  A ---^
  A:error: requested 374784 bytes of memory
  A:error: already used 320786431 bytes of memory
  A:fatal: Out of memory


The Compiler was a Verdix Compiler on an Silicon Graphics Crimson.
Compiler Version 4.1 and   Operatiog system 4.0.5 C

Is there anybody who has the same problems ? 

What is the reason for this message ?

I had a similar problem with the Sun Ada 1.1.f (Verdix) compiler.
Compiling a package body with many internal procedures and a great deal
of Text_IO (a "data dumper" package). I really don't know what the
bug is that caused the compiler to eat all the memory in the system, but
the solution was simply to make "separates" of all the internal procedures
and compile them individually.

You also might consider using the latest release of Ada for SGI 
systems.  the current version for single threaded code is 6.2
(AXM 6.2 Ada Development System).  If you're on maintenance, 
you should receive it soon.
