  1) An area defining the position and relocation pointer
  in the RLD record was declared as a signed integer. When
  the number of ESDs  (External symbol dictionary items)
  exceeds 32K it is possible for a value in that area
  to be interpreted as a negative value leading to
  an incorrect ESDID being produced.
  2) A bad RLD card is produced by the prelinker with zero
  relocation pointer. The zero relocation pointer is due to
  the XSD card whose id is in the relocation pointer being a
  concat card, and thus moved by the prelinker then marked as
  deleted.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1) The area above is now declared as an unsigned integer
  which would allow ESD numbers to reach their allowed limit of
  64K.
  2) The prelinker was modified to delete an RLD card whose
  relocation pointer refers to an XSD which has already
  been deleted. These cards and their RLDs are remapped
  by the prelinker for C/C++ constructors and destructors.
  This change was previously done to development releases
  (Reference defect MD13757) and is now fitted to earlier
  releases.
