serious errors. Run-time error-message numbers range from R6000 to
R6999. A run-time error message takes the following general form:

   run-time error R6nnn
   - messagetext

The following is the description for R6009 in the "Microsoft C
Optimizing Compiler User's Guide":

   Errors R6008 and R6009 both occur at start-up if there is
   enough memory to load the program, but not enough room for
   the argv vector, the envp vector, or both. To avoid this
   problem, rewrite the _setargv or _setenvp routines (see
   Section 5.2.2, "Suppressing Command-Line Processing," for
   more information).
