A seemingly new problem with the library (lib) tool has cropped up since I went
to version 8.48.  Any way I try to add an object to a library results in the
message Assertion failure: 'len <= IDMAX' as shown in this example.

I've come to the realization that this is not a new problem.  It seems to be
limited to this particular object file (size?).  HOWEVER, I would still
appreciate any insight into the error message and how I might fix the problem.

Thanks.
