One can never be 100% sure about this sort of thing, but I can say that 
I've run scores of applications, some very large (1.2 MBytes of code, 
10s of thousands of lines) without difficulty on CPU32 machines using 
the above toolchain.

Can you use BDM on the CPU32 to step through the code and narrow down 
the location where the problem occurs?
