I've been translating a large Pascal project into C++, and it's actaully been
going quite well, all things considered.  Yesterday, however, I ran into a
very perplexing problem: one module simply won't compile.  CFront dies
partway through the #includes (it makes it past all the Mac includes, all 23
of them, and gags after about 20 of the 30 project includes) with the error
"internal error: free store exhausted".  (It reports the error at a line
inside one of the included files.)  At first I thought it was running out
of memory, but even after an additional 10MB of partition space (for a grand
total of 22MB!), it still died in the exact same place, so that theory seems
out.  I tried commenting out that include, but the same error appeared in
another place.  Does anyone have any clue as to what's going on, and more
importantly, how to fix it?

Desperately,

Chris Nebel
