Ok I am having a problem with DJGPP and large arrays.  All my arrays do 
not exceed 2megs of RAM (combined).

I have the arrays inited like so:

int array1[20000], array2[10000], array3[70000] ...
....
int array7[5300], array8[1200] ...
....
int array 12[70000]


When I try to binary load using _open or fopen, when I get to array7[]
I get an traceback error like so...

fread+66
load_save+54  line xxxx of name.c
main+199      line xxx of name.c
cntr_???+115  I am assuming that this program calls 'main'

If I put a dummy array in like:

int array_dummy[5300], array7[5300], array8[1200]...

then it works ok.

So far all the other arrays I have tested work fine when loading a binary 
file into it.  I looked in the FAQ and found nothing that helped.

Whats going on?

THanks
Vince.
