Basic 7 Bug???

After purchasing Basic PDS 7.1, I am re-compiling various software
packages that I wrote under it.  I also use the ProBAS 5.5 library and Btrieve.
After repairing all of the incompatibilities in one of my clients'
programs, I re-compiled and linked it.  All went well.  Upon
running it, I get an error message "Error during runtime initialization."
After careful experimentation (consisting of re-compiling parts of the
program piece by piece and testing), I confirmed that it has to do with
the size of the program.  Once I added a certain amount of code back it
started failing.  I tried different sections of code, and it still fails.
Keep in mind that it runs fine under QB4.5.  I'm just re-compiling
to be able to use far strings.  Also, I hav experimented with different
compile switches, and I have removed all TSRs from memory.  I also
played with various XMS/EMS setups with no luck and even re-compiled
using overlays, still with no luck.  I also re-compiled as a stand-
alone and it still failed.  The error message is not mentioned ANYWHERE
in the manuals.  Also, all of my paths are correct, as a scaled-down version
of the program runs fine!  Any ideas???
