I am using the debugger on a Pascal program - it allows me to set a breakpoint
in a procedure, and when I hit the breakpoint I can examine a boolean variable
in the procedure, but when I try to examine a subfield of a record that is
a dereferenced pointer (eg. s^.length), I get the error
  %DEBUG-E-NOFREE, no free storage available
This error happens even while examining global pointer variables.  The manual
suggests using the CANCEL MODULE command, but since the whole program is one
module, that won't work (the program is only about 5400 lines).

I tried increasing various memory quotas to no avail.  Also, when using the
SHOW MODULE command, the debugger indicates that there is still space
available!  Has anyone ever seen this problem?
