But do you tried 65535 as  John said? I don't think that you reached a limit 
with a few lines, and Robert is compiling RHIDE with 24Mb under Win95, and 
RHIDE is much (more than 10 times) the size of your program. Are you sure that 
is just a few lines or is that this lines produces the need of a lot of 
libraries or just a bug in gcc?
