While never having encountered this manifestation, I am plagued by another
mean nasty bug. When linking large executables, the linker starts to claim 
that symbols are undefined when in fact they were defined the last time I 
linked the code! If I swap the order of the objects different objects become
undefined while previously undefined objects are now okay.

This happens in my fortran code as well as C code, but mostly occurres when
linking code that uses a lot of symbols (like X11 stuff). I can make it go
away (sometimes) by just #including all of the code in one file. Yick.

Machine :
520, 48mb ram, 128mb paging space, 3001 update applied.
