The following linker warning is undocumented with QuickC 2.00. This
warning can occur when making a near call to a far function.

   Warning: L4004  Possible fixup overflow at addr in segment name

This warning is issued for DOS programs when a near call/jump is made
to another segment that is not a member of the same group as the
segment from which the call/jump was made. This call/jump can cause an
incorrect real-mode address calculation when the distance between the
paragraph address (frame number) of the segment group and the target
segment is greater than 64K, even when the distance between the
segment where the call/jump was actually made and the target segment
is less than 64K.
