Out of ROM - Segment or program is too large

Compiler 4.135 porting code from a PIC18F87K22 to a PIC18F66K22.

Everything went well and the code worked.
Code ROM used shown as 34% and RAM 12%-14%

But adding just a few lines of simple code that called no new functions produces the following

*** Error 71 "main.c" Line 1169(0,1): Out of ROM, A segment or the program is too large
Seg 08002-0B9AE, 0114 left, need 00128
Seg 00000-00006, 0004 left, need 00128
Seg 00008-000E8, 0000 left, need 00128
Seg 000EA-001FE, 0006 left, need 00128
Seg 00200-08000, 7E02 left, need 00128

USing the CCS tools indicates :

ROM Used: 16182 (34%)
47528 (100%) including unused fragments.

What have I done wrong and what can I do about it ?

also....
I believe it is covered in the FAQ of the CCS C Help files. Pressing F11 will open them while in your project...

I don't like the forum's search function as it comes with too many false search results, but try Google instead and type:

hmm..nice thing about the google search , is I don't get the dreaded 'timeout' error or whatever and have to hit refresh, yes to get the results again.
