sdb poser -- can my program be too big?

[R. Curtis Jackson]

Vax 11/780 sdb Release 5.0

I have been working on a multi-lingual microassembler for a couple
of months now.  I compile my lexical analyzer, three yacc parsers,
and main C program with generic functions in it all with the -g
option so I can use that invaluable tool -- sdb(1).

Today, I came in and a user told me of a problem with gus (my assembler),
so I took it into sdb as I do several times every day.  It came back
with the usual 'No core image' and the '*' prompt, and will do anything
I ask it to except set

He gave the novice a long, icy stare and quietly growled, "RTFM".
