I too have used PCQ very much and have encountered a few gurus.  The guru that
you are experiencing, #00000003, is a trap code for an uneven addressing error.
The second number (002398D8) is that address of the error solving task, according to my "Amiga C for Advanced Programers" manual, the only address I know of to
solve the error is the address of my left mouse button :^)  I used PCQ for everyproject in my data structures class, so I know that it works, I think that the 
compiler is a littel loose on some checking, so it'll let things slide and guru
at runtime.  If you can't solve the problem, I would like to help, I'm no 
expert, but I am familiar with the package.  So email me some code if you like
and I'll see if I can figure it out with you.
