Currently, we are designing a hypertextual system based in Andrew. We decided on Andrew for a number of good reasons but mainly for the text object supplied with the system. Now, we are implementing the notion of links and anchors between documents. On the small scale, this worked alright but when we tried to load up a huge file (2.5 meg), Andrew did the "Segmentation fault" thing. Inside of this file, there are a total of 700 anchors and 300 links. Each of these anchors and links are insets. I thought that this wouldn't be a problem. After the Segmentation fault experience, I examined my program and determined there was nothing wrong with it. So I turned to look at Andrew, and found by experiment that there can only be 128 objects contained within a text object. The question is: Am I correct about my findings and is there a way to raise this limit?

There was a bug in text.c that was limiting the number of insets that were allowed in a document. The fix will be included in upcoming patch6. Gary Keim ATK Group
