PRC tables have a limit of 9999 lines, and 127 characters per if or then
segment, plus the label.
Common sense and observation says that any byte in line 4874 falls well
within that threshhold.
Further, while fP is notorious for mis-reporting errors, there is no way
I'd correlate "Invalid Op Code" as even remotely having anything to do with
the size of a table.
It is amazing the bizzare straws people grasp at when things don't work.
