The following error message is produced when the example below is
compiled with the Microsoft C Optimizing Compiler Version 5.10:

   fatal error C1001: Internal Compiler Error
                   (compiler file '@(#)omf.c:1.70', line 146)
                   Contact Microsoft Technical Support

To prevent the error message, reverse the order of the #pragma and
#include directives.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Version 5.10. We are
researching the problem and will post new information as it becomes
available.

Support for the data_seg pragma may be eliminated from future releases
of the C Optimizing Compiler. We recommend that you use the /ND
compiler option which provides equivalent functionality.

The following example demonstrates the problem:

#include "os2def.h"            /* os2def.h from IBM's toolkit v1.1 */
#pragma data_seg( global )

char *errors[] = {
   "no error",
   "unknown error"
  };

To prevent the problem, reverse the order of the #pragma and #include
directives, as follows:

#pragma data_seg( global )
#include "os2def.h"
