The issue was the linker ran out program rom space as the message indicated. The reason was not large amounts of code or big rom tables but because the processor selected in the project file (the 2004/2005 PIC was the PIC18F8520 w/32kb of program space) has very little program space as compared to the current PIC18F8722 which has 128kb program space -- a lot more.
