out of virtual memory?

[Katherine Minister Hosch]

Hi all.  Thanks for all the responses in regard to my repeated watchdog
resets.  The machine that was doing that has started exhibiting other
forms of alsheimers', and so is going to get a complete overhaul.

I've got another problem, stranger than that, I think.  I am compiling ada
programs on a diskless 3/50, served by a 3/280 which has allocated 16 MB
of swap space to the 3/50.  The 3/50 has just 4 MB of main memory.  Upon
running a verdix ada debug session in one window, and compiling an ada
package in another, I got the following error:

Has anyone ever seen/heard of running out of virtual memory?  The program
in the debug window is 319488 KB, and the program being compiled is itself
just 6545 bytes (but includes some standard and additional packages --
maybe another 100K.)  Any ideas?
