Resource exhaustion optimizing MAIN_(): storage for tree nodes

My guess here is that the compiler might be running out of memory; the
fact that you got different results from two different runs hints that
the environment (other programs running, &c) might be affecting it.
If you get this "resource exhaustion" message again, try killing off a
couple of other jobs you have running, if you have some large ones.
(Emacs is often a good choice.)
This is undeniably a problem in the compiler -- not so much that it
should run out of memory, but that it should handle that situation so
poorly. I will forward this report to our IBM people.
Thanks for the report.
