It's an error msg emitted by tlink ( more exactly: the borland extender ) that a page fault did occur.

Perhaps if you disable the borland extender swap file usage - if that's possible?

Or try to load hdpmi16 before you launch tlink - it might work or crash.

I found this puzzling and did a test of my own. If you enter "Jemmex" before and after tlink runs, you'll notice a difference: tlink does allocate VCPI pages, but fails to free them. After 2 runs the pool of VCPI pages in Jemm is exhausted, that's why the third run behaves differently ( although, in my case, one cannot say that the third run is "successful" - it results in a msg that command.com cannot be loaded and the system is halted ).

I also did a brief test of my hdpmi16 advice: it works!
