This article was previously published under Q93648 SYMPTOMS
An attempt to run an application fails when the computer hangs and stops
responding. In some cases, the message "illegal instruction" appears before
the computer hangs.
CAUSE
The application contains exactly 109 segments.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, modify the application to change the number of
segments it contains.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in LINK versions 5.1, 5.13,
and 5.15. This problem was corrected in LINK version 5.2.
MORE INFORMATION
To determine the number of segments in an application, include the /INF
command option switch on the LINK command line.
