There is some sort of memory corruption problem in one of the literals 
or identifiers.

This is causing a segmentation fault when one of the identifiers gets 
initialized due to the VALUE clause.

Due to the large amount of literals and identifiers it is difficult to 
isolate the problem, as the memory location where the problem occurs may 
have only a casual relation to the problem.
And since the memory location is corrupt, it is difficult, if not 
impossible, to identify the problem statement.

Anyway I will try to isolate the problem.

BTW, if you which to look at the problem just compile the run-time with 
the GCC '-g' option, and set the '.gdbinit' file with a break-point at 
'b tcob_move'.
The run the tests program (gdb BPVITD3), and use the continue command.
