I remember having a similar problem some time ago.  In my case, the
resource fork of one of my uses files had gotten trashed, so the
compiler wasn't able to read its saved symbol table info.  Try run-
ning the RezDet tool on all your uses files to see if any of their
resource forks are inconsistent.  If so, replace the bad files with
brand new files containing copies of the originals' text.

I have not run into this problem since I started compiling with the
-k option, which tells the compiler to save its symbol tables in
another folder, rather than the resource forks of your source files.
