    All,
    
    	I'm trying to install libtiff v3.3 on an Interactive Unix box 
    	(v3.0) with gcc v2.3.2.  The problem is that the compiler never 
    	completes tif_fax3.c.  It just sits there eating cycles.  Has 
    	anyone ever seen anything like this?  Ideas?
    
gcc version prior to 2.5.x (I believe) used a large amount of space for
each initializer in an array.  As a result the large state tables used
by tif_fax3.c resulted in gcc needing very large amounts of virtual memory
to compile the code. 

Get a more current version of gcc and you should not see this problem.

    Sam
