OK, but would you please post the amount of physical memory
on the AS4100 on which this is happening, as well as the page
file size(s)?  Just a SHOW MEMORY would do.  Noting that
a pgflquota of 5M pagelets is about 2.4 GB, you need to have
that much (virtual) memory available...

The other thing is that SHOW PROC/QUOTA does *not*
list "Peak working set size:" or "Peak virtual size:".  Are
these coming from the compiler?

I'd like to know what you see, from a separate process,
when you do Show Proc/Quota/Id=xxxxxxxx on the
process doing the compile.  You should see the value
for "Paging file quota:" decreasing, right?

   Puzzled, Ken
