One problem might be that you are exceeding the 64K boundry for code and 
data segments.  You might want to look at the writeups on compiler 
directives for setting multiple code and/or data segments in the TML 
pascal manual (pages 71-2 and Appendix B).  The diagnostics in the TML 
compiler are quite poor and I've run into many situations where the 
program appears to work sometimes and sometimes not as well as working 
when compiling to memory but not when compiling to disk

Hope this helps....Chris
