It is a warning, that an internal table has filled up.
It appears it only handles looking at 40,000 extents
at a time.  There was an enhancement request (back in
1997) to increase the internal tables, which HP decided
not to work on.

You can run CONTIGVOL multiple times if the first run
does not condense the free space enough because of this
limitation.
