We are using an Series 835 running version 2.1 of HP-UX.  We have some
X-window bitmaps that are larger than 100k of data in static short
arrays and compile without any problems.  There version of 2.1 that we
are running came with the 835 and I don't think it was an official
release, but I'm pretty sure that the official 2.1 has come since and
just hasn't been installed.  You might want to look into the
availability of 2.1 for the 825.
