Disposition: I had encountered this problem  last December and put some work into it;  just finished it off right now.  It will run a standard storage full error when there are about 7 "pages" of atom space left, and will fall into "raid" when there will be no more atoms left.  This limits the total number of atoms to 32766.  -- JonL -- 5/1/84'
