It's a sun 10.

I've been told it happens in Linux for PC too. I'll try to gather the
data.

I've tried the same program in an HP-UX B.10.01 A 9000/715 and the error
message I get is:

*** - no more room for LISP objects

So it looks like a memory problem. In both cases (sun and HP) the size of
memory used grows more and more until the programs stops with "Abort" (in
the sun case) or "*** no more ..." in the hp case.

Here is the data for the HP:

The program is quite big and setting it up is not trivial. If you need it,
I might open you an account here in the HP (Marcus already used it).

byte-compiled in all the cases.
