When the following program is assembled with the /Zi switch,
linked with the /CO switch, and traced under CodeView, an illegal
instruction occurs:

_text segment
assume cs:_text
       db 08h,0c1h
_text ends
end

   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.
