Sorry for replying to the other message before reading this one...

Along the lines of the information from my previous email, you should be
aware that, at least with the sun machines I have used:
 solaris shares (at least part of) its tmp directory space with its virtual
memory space,
 and you may need to mod my previous limits to:
2) the source or ,v file reaches ~1/4 or ~1/6 the size of your server's temp
partition's limit.
Or
3) the source or ,v file reaches ~1/2 the full Virtual Memory size of the
server, i.e., ~1/2 of real ram + ~1/4 of swap space.
