[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Bug in MPW C 3.0

I have just received MPW 3.0 and MPW C 3.0 beta, so I am trying to put it
through it's paces to see if I can find any bugs. Well, today I tried to
compile a rather complex YACC-generated file (large initialized integer arrays
(> 5200 numbers), big switch statement (275 cases)) and guess what - it didn't
work! The compiler bombs with ID=5 just at the end of the syntax-checking
phase. Obviously something is too big, but what and why? I've tried to remove
some of the cases in the swith statement, but it didn't help. I also tried
taking out the initialisations from the array declarations, but it didn't
help either. Anyone out there got a clue on this?
