Try running `go32-v2' from the DOS box and seeing what sort of numbers you
get for available memory. If they seem small (like, less than 20MB overall)
see FAQ section 15.6.
Also try the following:
* Make sure that your TMP directory does not run out of space. This can
happen if it's on a ramdrive.
* Stubedit `cc1plus.exe' to a larger stack size.
* Free some disk space, if you have less than about 30MB free.
