Thanks Archaeologist,
I have reviewed the post and it is not very clear to me what the resolution actually is.
It states "The solution is to isolate the data structures which contain the problem symbols into a separate section. This new section will not get compressed, but since it is small, it won't matter much."
I develop in a number of languages and on a number of platforms, so being a compiler or linker expert is not really an option. Is it possible to explain the resolution in more detail, or point me in the direction of where I can find out more?
