Uh? Seems like the compiler just don't recognize "BUG_CHECK". Which 
isn't that strange, as it isn't an instruction, and it isn't a known 
MACRO-32 operation. My guess it that it's a macro. So you need to 
include the library that defines the macro...
Either on the command line, or (I assume it exists in MACRO-32), a 
".LIBRARY /file/" statement.
