[Orca-users] as: Value too large for defined data type

[Cockcroft, Adrian]

This isn't a message from SE, so a new version won't help. It's the
startup script for orca calling "ps".
The "as" in the error message is Address Space, which is one of the
entries in the proc structure. It has nothing to do with the "as"
assembler command.

It may be that a 32bit "ps" command is encountering a 64bit address
space and can't cope with it. Its likely that /usr/ucb/ps would be
different to /usr/bin/ps as described by Mark Stoltzfus.
