Assuming you're not storing this struct into a database, this code
looks fine. What you're running into is that your program is just a
little too big to fit into a segment. If you can split it into more
than one segment, that should take care of the problem. (You're seeing
the error go away when you comment out the StrCopy because that line
of code is just enough to tip the program size over the limit.)
