When a macro assembler program has more than 127 segments and
it is compiled with the /Zd switch, an invalid object module is
produced. The object module contains an invalid LINUM record caused
by the segment index field.
   Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Version 5.10. We
are researching this problem and will post new information as it
becomes available.
