I doubt it's a CPU problem.. it's probably just a formatting error/incompatibility in your area files. One of your areas has a file has a 'word' that is being seen as larger than MAX_INPUT_LENGTH. First, make sure your area files are converted to the correct CR-LF arrangement for the machine you are working on, so isspace will be sure to pick up the EOL as a word break. If that's not the problem, stick something in the area file loading routines to extend that fread_word bug message to include which area it's loading when the error occurs and any other information you can get, and go have a look with a text editor to see where the problem is. --Palrich.
