   Note added in proof: If I compile the program with the "out of the   
   box" configuration (only change is /V in bpc.cfg), I get :   
      
   "Error 110: Debug information table overflow."   
      
   Online help says:   
   "This error indicates that an overflow occurred while generating Turbo   
   Debugger symbol information in the .EXE file.   
      
   Most likely the program contains more than 65536 symbols, or it   
   contains more than 65536 source lines that generate code.   
      
   To avoid this error, turn debug information off (using a {$D-}   
   compiler directive) in one or more of your units."   
      
   If the "only" the symbol table overflows, may be it is sufficient to   
   turn off local symbols with {$L-}.   
      
   Hope that helps
