     fix-up overflow at 'number' in segment 'segment'
 
     This error message will be followed by either
 
          target external 'symbol'
         OR
          frm seg name1, tgt seg name2, tgt offset number
 
     A fix-up overflow is an attempted reference to code or data that
     is impossible because the source location (where the reference is
     made "from") and the target address (where the reference is made
     "to") are too far apart. Usually the problem is corrected by
     examining the source location.
 
     Revise the source file and re-create the object file. (For
     information about frame and target segments, see the "Microsoft
     MS-DOS Programmer's Reference.")
