Re: Unexpected 'Out of Memory'

I tried your program on W2K using ActiveState Perl 5.8.2 build 808.

When I ran it as written the program ran on until W2K killed it. When I took the map command out it worked perfectly. When I tried it with $MAX = 70; it again worked perfectly. But when I put the map line back in the program again ran on until W2K killed it.

When I set $MAX = 200; it ran correctly, including the map line. It still ran fine without the map line. Putting the map line before the for block also ran correctly with 200 set. With $MAX = 100; W2K again stopped the program.

It appears it is a 5.8.1 and 5.8.2 version specific bug. Everyone who has ran it on 5.8.0 has had it run fine reguardless of platform OS.

I am at a machine running RH Linux 9 with Perl 5.8.0 right now. I could run the program again here but the matter seems to be settled. If someone wants me to run it I will do so, otherwise I will let sleeping bugs lie.

Thanks for writing, Elijah.
