Daren:

That problem is almost universally caused by having an external data element
declared with the same name as a procedure.

This message is telling you that it is trying to jump from 0x429bb4, an
address in the default text region range, to 0x10007d90, an address in the
default data region range (data starts at 0x10000000).  The symbol it is 
attempting to resolve is "time", and you probably have a variable called
"time" while your code or routines called by you call "time".
