Check your per process limits.  On the i386, the limit on datasize is
set to 16 Megs and the limit on stack size is .5 Megs.  Using
/bin/csh, use the limit command.  With /bin/sh it is ulimit.

Those commands also let you set the limit.  So try in csh

limit datasize unlimited

and see if that solves your problem.  

(limit is documented in the csh man page and ulimit appears to be
missing from the sh man page.)
