Problem Note 4636: Bus Error may occur in PROC FREQ with EXACT calculations
For large EXACT problems, PROC FREQ may return the following:
Bus Error In Task [FREQ]
The procedure correctly recognizes that there is not enough memory to
complete the exact calculations, but fails to delete memory pools to
return to the non-exact calculations. There is no circumvention for
this problem.
