[net.lang.f77] Strange f77 error.

jgb@linus.UUCP (Jonathan G. Bressel) (06/19/84)

I am trying to compile a large program (spice2g6) on Berkeley 4.2 UNIX (TM).
Partway through the compilation, f77 bombs with a cryptic message:

	termination code 139

Does anyone have any idea what this means?

I would greatly appreciate any help.

	Just thought I would let people know, we got spice to compile.
Originally we were trying to compile the program as distributed, all
of the subroutines in one file. When I used fsplit to break the file
into one file per routine and made the corresponding changes to make,
so that the files were compiled one at a time and then linked to
make spice, it worked. It looks like f77 has a memory overrun when
tring to compile very large programs.I was wondering why Berkeley
included fsplit, now I know. I have not tried to track the problem down as
of yet, but it is on my list.

BTW has anyone kept a list of the many bug fixes to the new f77?
I have a few, but I am wondering if my list is complete.

	Thanks to some person at BBN who shall go nameless cause I
forgot his name for a hint that led to this solution.
