Boy, does this question open a can of worms!  Without knowing more about
the process that is causing the problem, it is difficult to pinpoint a
potential cause - and solution.  Here are some of the causes...

1.  If the program is strictly a "cm" program (with no "nm" calls via
switch stubs), you can get this error by such things as referencing a
table via a subscript that is way-out-of-bounds, or by a run away call
(to a recursive procedure).  This is just a sample.  There are many
others...

2.  If the program is a "cm" program calling an "nm" routine via switch
stubs, you can get this error if the parameters that you pass back and
forth are not correctly defined in the switch stub - or by any of the
conditions which could occur in item #1.

3.  If the program is an "nm" program calling a "cm" routine, you can
get the error by improper parameter passing (like passing a 16-bit
address or a byte address when the called procedure is expecting a
word-offset address).  Or, once in the "cm" routine - any of item #1
rules apply.
