When compiling with /Oe optimization under the compact or large memory
models, the code below generates the following internal compiler error
with Microsoft C version 6.00a:

   fatal error c1001: Internal Compiler Error
        (compiler file '@(#)regMD.c:1.110',line 1017)

Sample Code
-----------

    char hex_digits[]={"f"};

    int x(char *resultp, int item)
    {
        char *s;
        int hundreds;

        s=resultp;
        hundreds=100;
        if(hundreds)
          *s++='0';
        *s++=' ';
        *s++=hex_digits[item/16];
        *s++=hex_digits[item%16];
    }

The following are valid workarounds for the problem:

1. Compile without the /Oe optimization.

2. Use the #pragma optimize switch in the code to turn off the
   offending optimizations for the particular function.

3. Compile under the small or medium memory models.
