| The message is saying that the compiler asked the linker to compute something
(perhaps to use as a base address, but more likely to store into memory).
The way you do that in the VMS object language is with commands that push
values onto a stack, and then perform arithmetic on those values. The message
says that the stack overflowed -- that the compiler generated commands that
pushed 25 more things onto the stack than it has popped so far.
This is probably either a linker or a compiler bug, and should also be reported
to the Pascal project (TURRIS::PASCAL or CLT::DEC_PASCAL_BUGS). Perhaps PASCAL
is generating an unusually complicated expression for the linker to evaluate,
but more likely it has lost track of what is on the stack (analogous to a memory
leak). The developers will almost certainly need an example of source code that
provokes this problem. I wouldn't be surprised if the problem goes away if you
try to cut it down. While they would surely prefer a small example, a big one
is better than nothing.

You should also QAR the "Explanation" text. The use of the word
"complex" may confuse others.

The customer could afterwards re-compile and re-link with no-warnings.
The program is so big with many modules that she has decided not to worry
about that message and I can't submit a SPR about it accordingly.

In truth, I thought "complex" as (mathmatical) data type.
I'll QAR it certainly.
Thanks!

| If the link gave this error once, and then repeating the command made it
disappear then you may have a hardware problem. You can check the errorlogs.

The customer got the message only once and it had never been seen since then.
And so, I had her check the errorlog and there were no errors.
Thanks,
