The Microsoft Segmented Link Utility Version 5.01.21 will
incorrectly generate a protection violation under OS/2 when the
command line uses the options /CO /DO, respectively.

OS/2 gives the message SYS1943: "A program caused a protection
violation." The SYS1811 violation follows, indicating the process has
stopped.

The work around for this problem is to order the switches differently.
Instead of including /CO /DO in the command line, the command line can
be reorder to /DO /CO.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Version 5.01.21. We are
researching this problem and will post new information as it becomes
available.
