Brian's problem...

I lied

The changes made some differences.

ksh still fails beyond level 28 except 43 & 45,  but the rreports nest 
beyond 49 levels now, up to a new limit of 128. (at 128, trying to proceed 
to 129 causes rreport to crash and exit)

and the ksh script works on many of the levels above 49, specifically:
1-28, 43, 45, 52, 64-101, 103, 104, 106-119, 121-125, 127

or it may be more meaningful to say ksh fails at the following levels:
29-42, 44, 46-51, 102, 105, 120, 126, 128

So the new MAXUP allows me further levels of nesting, but does not change 
which levels fail even though some of the failing levels are low numbers 
nowhere near.

There is something obscure going on here, not a simple matter of a limit 
being reached. Some kind of alignment or pointer problem.

I'm in for a lot of tedious testing I guess.
I need to test other versions of fp on this box, then run the test on other 
versions of sco, and linux.
and I guess I should try to build the latest version of ksh too.
