Macintosh programs are divided into "segments" which must be less than
32K bytes.  To fix this, divide your program into overlays.  To do this,
just put in the line

overlay "main"

at the beginning of half of your source files, and

overlay "seg2"

at the beginning of the other half.  If these are still too big, divide
again.  Optimally, you would figure out which routines call which others
and divide so as to minimise cross-segment calls, and use UnloadSeg() to
dispose of segments not being used.

Maybe it is related and will go away when you segment?
