I noticed the same problem on compiling  one of the devel  versions of
lynx  (think it was ac59) on HP-UX 9.03.  Had to run the compile  with
minimal  system/user  processes  to get over this  module.  I used gcc
2.7.2.1.  So this looks like a  potential  memory  problem.  My system
had  quite an amount of  memory  configured  (think  it was 64M on the
whole) High time this module is broken up.
