[comp.emacs] the beast 'OUT OF MEMORY'

WCSWR@CARLETON.BITNET (Walter Roberson) (01/13/88)

Sorely put to the test was I when first didst I stumble upon the lair
of the beast 'OUT OF MEMORY' in the hills of XENIX, near the strata of
rocks microEmaxian. Many a day and night didst rage the battle, for, in
mine inexperience, I didst at first chose weapons upon the customs of
my origins in the marshes of VMS. At length, though, vanquished had I
this enemy; so that thou may doest likewise, I do hereby array my
weapons winning:

CCFLAGS = -O -M2l -LARGE

line.c:
541c541
<       kbufp->d_chunkkused++| = (char) c;
---
>       kbufp->d_chunkkused| = (char) c; kused++;

display.c
156,157c156,157
<     while (vtcol < term.t_ncol)
<         vp->v_textvtcol++| = ' ';
---
>     for ( ; vtcol < term.t_ncol; vtcol++ )
>         vp->v_textvtcol| = ' ';

If thoust should, perchance, test the mettle of line.c in the fires
Lintorian, be thoust certain to maintain thine courage. Indefinite
ranks of 'Strong Type Mismatch'es await thy displeasure. Draw thine
relentless all-vanquishing electronic pen, and plunge it into the heart
of the morass 'estruct.h', wherein discoverth thou willst hosts of
creatures wearing the shape 'LINE *' and 'WINDOW *', and all identical
in seeming. Recite ye loudly the words of the ancient poverb, "PASCAL's
Rule of Type Differentiation", (which hath come down to us from the
ancient tounge BNF as, "The man who wears a hat from birth will never
be the same as the man born with a hat on"), pay thine respects to the
Guild of Typedefs, and invoke ye repeatedly the ritual Substitutus
Globalus overst all the subjects of thine realm. When thou art certain
that the meanace hath been erradicated, celebrate thoust with the
ancient Roman traditional feast-food, Pizza.
