When compiled with default optimizations in the huge memory model, the
code below produces the error message:

   test.c(10) : fatal error C1001: Internal Compiler Error
                (compiler file '@(#)exphelp.c:1.115', line 698)
                Contact Microsoft Product Support Services

When compiled in the large memory model, the same code produces the
following error message:

   test.c(10) : fatal error C1001: Internal Compiler Error
                (compiler file '@(#)emit.c:1.115', line 437)

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

void main(void)
{
        char *foo, *bar;
        int baz;

        foo = (bar - ((char *) 0) + baz) & ~ baz;
}

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