I found this message from JHICKLE on the old DELPHI forums that may 
hopefully help shed some light on the subject.

I get this error when trying to compile something like this:
char (*func_key())[256];

splitting it into two 128 member arrays solved the problem.

At the time I wrote to Microware on their Compu$erve forum.
I'm still waiting for them to reply.
