Anyone ever seen a 'Warning: Supplied buffer too small' from the Pascal compiler, followed by an exit? The'comprehensive' error list in the manual doesn't address this one, and I'm bamboozled, although I suspect a procedure call I am uing is too complex for it. This failure occurs both with optimization on and off. SR9.2.3, PAS 6.3348

We found the problem with the 'Supplied buffer too small error'. It turns out this is Athe compiler's way of saying the source line is too long. One wonders why they don't trap this and simply say source line too long? Or better, why there needs to be a limit at all? (Other than the DM limit of 256 - which would seem to be the natural limit to use).

[Error #143] Compiler failure, lost value of node. Should I be concerned with this message from /bin/cc, or is it just another "feature"?
