Link 5.10 Problem

Greetings All,

We are having trouble with Microsoft Link 5.1 on a large Windows 
project ( 60+ source files ).  The problem didn't show up until 
we hit around 59 source files.  When linking this project while 
logged onto our Novell network we get an L1087 error: unexpected 
end-of-file on scratch file.  We get this error and a lot of 
garbage on the screen.  It also looks like the linker creates 
about five temporary files all with the same name before we get 
this error.  Maybe they should move that statement out of that 
loop.  :-)  

Microsoft blames it on Novell taking up file handles, but 
shouldn't increasing the number of files fix this?  They also 
told us not to remove our hard disk while linking.  

We recieved an upgrade of the linker to version 5.13 but that 
doesn't seem to help.  The docs that came with the upgrade said 
they made a workaround that took care of L1085 errors. 

Has anyone encountered this before or know of a solution?  We can 
still link if we log off of Novell but I can see that becoming a 
pain real quick.

E-mail or Post I try to keep up with both.
