Q:  I'm getting the following error message from the C++ compiler:

		cc++: Internal compiler error.  Program collect got fatal signal 11.

What's going on?

A:  You have encountered a known bug in the C++ compiler. The bug has been fixed in Release 3.1. This is a bug in the program collect that relates to the use of alloca.  Essentially, the program collect runs out of stack when "collecting" your application, causing it to crash.

There is a workaround. Just increase the stacksize in the shell.  Use the limit command to increase your stacksize.  Like this:

	% limit stacksize 10000

In Release 1 this workaround always works.  However, in Release 2 this workaround does not work when used with the make utility.  make hardwires the stacksize rather than reading it from the users default.  So, in Release 2 or later (unless you have 3.1 or later, in which this bug is fixed) you must link by hand, or write a little shell script to do it for you.
