Eva,
The number of values that can be -post-ed (ie. number of items in your
`topost' local macro) depends on the current -matsize- (that's documented
somewhere, but don't ask me where...)
Not sure this is causing the error you get (but fairly likely I guess):
just -set matsize xxx- before running your program, where xxx is larger
than your current value.
Hope this helps,
Philippe.

This is a bit difficult to debug in the absence
of part of the program. You could
. set trace on
and see where it all blows up.
