Your change meant that your gClipRect was now a global variable set by
an expression, rather than one set by a constant expression. This is
allowed in C++, but it generates InitCode that gets run at program start
before your PilotMain is called. To support this code, you need to link
against the CodeWarrior runtime -- I think your project just has
StartupCode.lib in it when you really need PalmOSRuntime_2i_A5.lib.

To avoid this, say
const Coord PageHeight = 143;

Outside the CW manual, the best discussion of the tools is at my
palmoswerks site. An article on the magic of __InitCode__ seems like a
good idea -- watch for it soon.
