     How close to the 64K limit are you?  I don't know what memory model
your are using, but in the small memory model (and one or two other models
whose names I forget), your program's global data, the run-time library
global infomation, and the stack must ALL reside in 64K.  If your program's
global data is close to 64K (or if you've increased the stack size from the
default 2K), then you'll have problems.
