Dear All,
I have just upgraded to DU 4.0a from DU 3.2c and now some program that
use to run now stop with the error:
8480:abin.x: /sbin/loader: Fatal Error: set_program_attributes failed to set
heap start
I can reproduce the same result with a simple program that uses large arrays.
The test worked on a DU 3.2c machine with the same configuration.
Limit gives the same results on both machines (tcsh 6.06.00) except for
memory used which 1008 kbytes less on the bad machine.

END
Compiled with:
f77 -o a a.f
Setting ARR to 3000000 it works setting higher gives compile errors.
While setting ARR to 3355000 and the program hangs then gives a
Segmentation fault.
ps output:

Any ideas ?
