1. PICO says "can't load 32 bytes" then HANGS!

I have a few 3-5 meg text files that I want to edit using PICO.  Never
had any trouble on other UNIX type OS's - when I load it in, PICO says
"loading" at that little status bar thingy, and then says "can't read 32
bytes"

Then it just hangs - and my disk drive churns and churns and churns.  I
press ^x to exit, and it will exit - about ten minutes after pressing ^x.

I have 16 meg ram, and 16 meg swap file.  Pentium 120.

What is the problem?
