Interesting...could you elaborate on something though? From my C programming days, I understood segmentation faults to generally mean that a program was attempting to access a memory location that it didn't own (as determined by the OS). Applying this knowledge to this SAS error, it sounds like SAS, behind the scenes, may be attempting to use memory it doesn't own to fulfill a request that requires more memory than SAS is given by the OS. Why wouldn't SAS recognize that it was out of memory and print a related message, rather than blindly attempt to carry out the user's request and seg fault?

Thanks, Matt
