--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    When ruinning RPC under VAX/VMS, the message
    
    %SYSTEM-E-BUFFEROVF, output buffer overflow
    
    means that one of the logical names you defined as an RPC addres is too
    long (more than 40 characters).  You can use the run-time trace (the
    $TRON command turns it on) to find out which name it was trying to
    translate at the time, and then $SHO LOG xxx to see what the translated
    version is. 
    
    Long addresses like this tend to occur with DECNET object names.
    You can get round it by using a second logical name (of umlimited
    length) for the decnet object name, and referring to that in the
    (limited length) rpc address.
    
    Example:  The name
    12@MYVAXA::"MYUSER MYPASSWORD"::"0=MYTASKNAME".DECNET
    is too long.  It was defined by the DCL command   
    
    $DEFINE MYPKG "12@MYVAXA::""MYUSER MYPASSWORD""::""0=MYTASKNAME"".DECNET"   
    
    To cure the problem, it is defined in two stages:
             
    	$DEFINE MYTASK "MYVAXA::""MYUSER MYPASSWORD""::""0=MYTASKNAME"".DECNET"
    	$DEFINE MYPKG "12@MYTASK.DECNET"
    
    which is legal.
