I believe this error is generated by the PalmRez post-linker when 
it's unable to load the system 'fnti' resource that it needs to 
determine which fonts to install, which are needed to measure menu 
items when calculating menu widths.

I see that the utility routine used by PalmRez to load resources does 
some "special stuff" when being built for Windows, but I'm at a loss 
to explain why the error gets triggered with your configuration/steps:

I could guess at some kind of memory full/corrupt problem triggered 
by the above, but that's a pretty lame explanation. Send me the 
minimal test app stuff, and I'll forward it on to the right person.
