It rather looks like the images (main and shared - maybe with debug
info) exceed the limit of P0. If you don't have a map, an ANALYZE/IMAGE
of the main image and all the shareable image should show how big they
are and in which region the VA is allocated. The info is in the PROGRAM
SEGMENT SUMMARY. For each image there is a "Shareable Image List"
printed on the first page, so you should be able to find them all.
ANAYZE/IMAGE is your friend! (Or ask Google to find the tool SHIML -
SHareable IMage List, which lists all the shareable images an image
depends on.)
