 BTW: You didn't mention what hardware version of Altos  you  are
      running (ie, 8086, 80286, 68020, etc.).

 FYI: I  have no solution [don't buy an Altos 8-(],  but  I  have
      only  seen  this  happen once on my Altos 586 running XENIX
      3.0b when trying to compile  ICON.  I  don't  remember  the
      module off hand, but the compiler just goes off into never-
      never land.
      Which is surprising, since the Altos compiler usually  gags
      on  what would be considered *normal* C syntax (for BSD 4.2
      or  ATT),  or  runs  out  of  space  (either  compiler   or
      preprocessor).
