How much do I need to worry about this?

[John Esak]

 Well, I guess you mean a comment on the if: line of a lookup.  I don't
think anything other than the lookup can go on a lookup line.  But, still,
shouldn't cause rcabe to crash.  It's sounding like an overall memory error.
I didn't understand what you were saying about your testing on other
machines.  Did it not crash there so you think it is just on your one
development machine?  Is it at all repeatable?  Have you eliminated hardware
problems.  Re-seated the memory, simple things like that?  

I do know one error that causes very strange behavior with cabe... I don't
rmember if it does actual crashes. It might... Though... I know it does all
sorts of weird stuff.  This is the error of not having enough memory
allocated to "label" size. There is an environment variable that can be set
higher.  PFLBSIZE.  As you get more and more lookup aliases, array names I
think, and actual labels, maybe some other things, Ken would have to
elaborate, the tables can not be saved properly and lots of strange runtime
errors occur.  I set it in most of my large systems to 5000.  I think it is
defaulted to only 1024.  Like I say, it probably doesn't cause cabe to
crash, but then again, that might be one of the symptoms.
