Try ensuring that the librarian input file (or what every you are
using as your library) is correct.  I have had this problem before.
Don't remember whether it was with MS-LIB or not (~03:50 here) but I
do remember that this can be a problem with tlib.  For me, (I use
NDMAKE 4.5...) the solution is to NOT let NDMAKE create the librarian
input file, but to do it by hand and to ALWAYS remove the old library
before adding to (creating) the new library. 

Either way it sounds like a librarian input file specification
problem. 

Goodluck...
