Yes, I got stuck in a similar way on a call to one of my own functions.
I also got a lot of gurus. I was able to reproduce the problem in a series
of smaller programs, finally getting down to about 30 lines of very innocent
looking code. The problem was always on a reference to a certain field in a
struct. I finally tried compiling WITHOUT the +L flag (which had been on
the whole time), and that seemed to fix it. I have no explanation as to why
+L should cause the problem it did.

Has anyone else noticed problems with +L?
