Almost every machine in existence uses the large version so I'm a bit surprised
by this report.  Can you confirm:

a) That your machine _does not_ use the large version.
   (Look at the values of SMALL_HUGS, REGULAR_HUGS and LARGE_HUGS in
hugs98/src/options.h)

b) That changing NUM_FIXUPS to 1000 fixes your problem.

If you are indeed using the regular version, is there any reason why you can't
use the large version?
