I think it is rare for SAS-generated Segmentation Violation faults to
be caused only by user memory allocations. The usual tricks to resolve
these faults involve starting another session, waiting for the system
to calm down and even running from a different sub-directory. As a last
resort, I will try a another version at a different patch level. There
is no point analysing the core dump since the environmental conditions
are always changing on a shared machine. Tinkering with MEMSIZE has no
effect unless there is an obvious memory limitation indicated in the
SAS log. I wish I had the time to get more hard evidence.
