With the attached program 24206.pl, I was able to set how large a matrix
I wanted to try.  I had no problem at 127, but when I tried the OP's
suggested 255, my program got farther than his but ultimately died with
a similar error.

069 - 128
sdbm store returned -1, errno 22, key "E?" at 24206.pl line 25.

This was on Darwin (Mac OS X 10.4.11).

Does anyone have any insight into this?

Thank you very much.
