	Try setting your stack to AT LEAST 12000 (more like 20000)
before you use the sh/shar program...  More if you still have trouble. 
This should stop your GURU's (This is a known problem with "sh".  It's a
stack monger.)

	You might want to also set your stack to a level higher than
4000 in your startup-sequence, as your needs justify.
