Actually, I solved that problem. It wasn't a bug in union, but a
limitation in an application's stack size. I did finally get the user
interface to run, but got really stuck on the memory stuff (core
dumps). I just can't quite figure out where the dump is coming from.
Of course it would help if I could get some time to look seriously at
it. I did find some notes regarding the Mach memory scheme. If I find
my bookmark I'll post it here.
The core dump I get when starting the executive seems to be like the
core dump I got in the UI. I was told that the limit per process on
the heap was limited to 750K. Of course that seems like a lot but
anytime you have large arrays being created--it doesn't take long to
overcome this. You might look to see if there are any large arrays
being built on startup of the executive. I suspect that we still have
to know more about the memory scheme however.

Hi David, heard anything from the MacOSX compiler folks
about the bug in union? I'm thinking of working on the port
again this weekend.
