The error message for linker error L2013 is as follows:

   error L2013 LIDATA record too large
      pos: xxx Record type: 743C

In the README.DOC file that comes with MASM version 5.10, Microsoft C
version 5.10, and the "Microsoft FORTRAN CodeView and Utilities User's
Guide" version 5.00 manual, the recommended course of action is to
call Microsoft Product Support at (206) 637-7096.

The error is a result of an invalid object module. This is a known
problem in MASM 5.10. The most likely cause is a duplication of some
large data item, such as a structure.

The easiest workaround is to break up the duplication(s) into smaller
parts.
