I'm writing a medium sized application using MPW 3.1, MacApp 2.0 and C++
3.1b1. Mac-II with 8M, system 6.0.7. Starting this afternoon, with the
addition of just a few more methods, my application has stopped linking
correctly, and falls out of MABuild with the following error:

### Link: Error: Main code (-m option) name not found. (Error 53) %__MAIN
### Link: Error: No Main code module or entry point. (Error 38) 
### Link: Errors prevented normal completion.

Of course there is a perfectly good main() in my program. The strange part
is that this only occurs when I'm running under Multifinder. If I run MPW
from Unifinder and it has all 8M available, it links just fine (by just
running MABuild again - not even any recompiling). I have MPW set with a 3M
partition (C++ needed it), and MABuild seems to use the -mf flag for link so
it can get additional Multifinder memory, and Finder tells me I have at
least a 2.7M block free. That would certainly seem to be enough memory...
And we're still in the small application stage here. I tried giving MPW a 4M
partition, but with the same results.

Additional information: I'm building a debug version, and my code is
segmented up in to a couple of nice bite sized chunks.

Any ideas what the problem might be?
