    * MR30 V.3.10 Release 1 -- V.3.20 Release 1
    * MR79 V.2.00 Release 2 -- V.2.00 Release 3

    (2) In the program a variable-size memorypool is used, and the maximum size of the reserved memory block is set to less than 120 bytes.


    2.2 Workaround
    Set the maximum size of the reserved memory block to 120 bytes or more when creating programs that use a variable-size memorypool.
