BADFIXUPSECTION:: invalid fixup target "symbol"; possible zero length section

During a VxD link, the target of a relocation did not have a section.

With LINK386 (an older version), an OMF GROUP record (generated by a MASM GROUP directive) might have been used to combine the zero length section with another nonzero length section.

COFF format does not support the GROUP directive and zero-length sections.

When LINK converts this type of OMF objects to COFF, this error can occur.
