   Did you ever port it to an Alpha?  Memory quotas on Alpha and
   Itanium need to be much higher than on VAX.  This just might
   lead to the garbled messages you're getting.

   If you used FTP to tranfer the file, did you do it in ASCII
   mode?  Are there, bhy any chance embedded CR and/or LF in the file?

   If I had no other recourse, I'd try splitting up the source in
   comment.txt and compile small poart of it, building until you get
   to the part that induces the problem.
