Error 39 is "out-of-memory".   It is possible that on a 520 you really are
running out of memory.   Gulam probably uses quite a bit, then the make
program uses some more and there's not enough left over for the compile,
especially with a RAM disk installed.

Error 36 is "access not possible"   I don't know what this means exactly
but I think it can happen when TOS is confused, as when it's running low
on memory.

The GEMDOS errors are listed in several places:

	1) Atari GEMDOS manual (with $300 dev. kit)
	2) Book "Atari ST Internals" (around $20)
	3) Most good C compiler docs, inc. MWC and Megamax C.
	4) Probably other ST programming books

I hope this info helps some.
