MPLAB 8.33-PBP 2.6 Crash error msg

[reddog24]

Using MPLAB IDE 8.33 PBP 2.6

This is the first part of my code, where using any or all three of the 1st three lines after the 'Variable Definitions line causes PBP to crash just after the Compiler starts with the usual Microsoft Program Error Window message " PicBasic Pro Compiler Console Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. ".

Commenting all three out allows the Compile to continue. Changing the names to

CA var byte
RA var byte
DA var byte

still causes a crash.

If the 3 above lines are commented out, the Compiler & Assembler (MPASM) runs but get Compiler msg "Cannot allocate TempData" and Cannot allocate Seroutdata"

Ooooo, that's an ugly crash.
Verified.

But, the 10F202 only has 24 bytes of RAM.
PBP will use 20 of those for system variables. which leaves 4 bytes for the user.

You can un-comment one more of those variables, then the RAM's full.
