the following error under DOS:

The following error is produced under OS/2:

   Command line error D2030 : INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR in 'P2'

Sample Code
-----------

_segment myseg;
extern int _based(myseg) a[];
int _based(_segname("foo")) a[] = {{0}};

To workaround the problem, use one of the following:

1. Compile with the /qc command-line option.

2. Switch the order of lines 2 and 3.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the C version 6.00.
We are researching this problem and will post new information here as
it becomes available.
