A bug report for Microsoft C 6.0 with its linker 5.10.

For some programs that are overlayed, the overlay code does not
fix up the segments in far subroutine calls in overlays as they
are swapped in.

Thus the code still has the base segment number as if it loaded
at segment 0.

Workaround: Link using the MSC 5.1 linker 5.01.21.

Microsoft has been notified, but they have no idea, and my code is
too big to send to them.

Anyone else seen this one?
