Try the following:
	1) shut down X (if you are running it) and run from console
	2) use "limit stackise 32767" and "limit datasize 32767" if you are
           running csh or tcsh (I can't remmember the equivalents for the
	   other shells)
	3) do the compile by hand (don't run "make" - takes memory, ya know)

If this procedure doesn't work, then you have only one choice - build a patched
version of gcc-2.3.3 (ouch!).  The patches which fix the problem were
distributed with FlexFAX-2.1.0 (I can send them to you if you so desire).
