INTERNAL ERROR: dictionary full

Guest wrote on Oct 20, 2005

Hi!

I have encountered this problem while running a script of mine:

---
INTERNAL ERROR on line 73: dictionary full
rspectext (input=fort.22, output=sp1d-dr-1285-52723-0558.fits)
----

fort.22 is 3847 lines long - so nothing extreme.

It crashes after having processed 24 or 49 spectra (I tried running
it twice with a long list of input spectra to process, one at a time).
I've never seen this error before so I don't know what to do. I have
been able to run large input files in my scripts before.

Can you help, please?
(I attach the program in case it is helpful)

I run iraf on CentOS Linux ; It must be one of these versions as
mozilla firefox can run on it: CentOS/1.0.6-1.4.1.centos4

Cheers,
Marianne
