error: memory exhausted or requested size too large

[Jim Langston]

Hi John,

Sorry for taking awhile to get back - I introduced three changes and 
been trying to work
my way through. The changes, upgrading my OS to OpenSolaris B86, changed 
my compilers
to Sun Studio 12 0708, and changed Octave to version 3.0.1.

- Changed my version of Octave to 2.9.13, leaving the compilers the same 
and the OS the same.
   And I still get the same error when running the check after compilation.

- Changed my compiler to Sun Studio 12 0404, leaving 2.9.13, and still 
get the error.

What would cause the error to get generated ?

- I'm running 64bit
- I recompiled using 64bit, same error
- I re-configure using --enable-64 and 64bit compiler options, same error.

Thanks,

Jim
