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. -- Jonathan G.

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