thanks John, I'm about to start re-implementing large sets - which hopefully
will reduce the failures and also ease portability.

The new large set implementation will be similar to the unbounded array
implementation.  In C terms:

if max_no_of_elements > sizeof (bitset_t) * 8
then
   define largeset as:
  
   struct largeset {
       bitset_t *ptr;
       unsigned int max_no_of_elements;
   }
   use alloca/memset/memcpy to propagate set contents during parameter
   passing - using callee save
else
   use word size or less to represent the set
end


regards,
Gaius
