Using calloc (or malloc) for a Circular Buffer

I've already posted a similar post on a different thread in the TI C/C++ Compiler Forum, but I'm having issue in regards to using the calloc function when developing a circular buffer. The code for initializing the circular buffer is shown below, (as well as in the link provided).

/*************CIRCULAR BUFFER*************/
typedef struct { unsigned char value; } ElemType;

// Circular buffer object //
typedef struct
{
    int         size;   // maximum number of elements
    int         start;  // index of oldest element
    int         end;    // index at which to write new element
    ElemType   *elems;  // vector of elements
} CircularBuffer;

CircularBuffer cb;
ElemType elem = {0};
int testBufferSize = 0x100; // arbitrary size //

void cbInit(CircularBuffer *cb, int size)
{
    cb->size  = size + 1; // include empty elem //
    cb->start = 0;
    cb->end   = 0;
    cb->elems = (ElemType *)calloc(cb->size, sizeof(ElemType));
}

I've reviewed the linker file and the project properties in CCS version 5.5.  I've also increased the heap size to make it larger than the test buffer size I set in my code.  However, this has not removed the Warning I am getting:

#10229-D output section ".data" refers to load symbol "_nop" and hence cannot be compressed; compression "rle" is ignored SPI Sniffer FR5739 C/C++ Problem

I'm still combing through the manual and the forums to find a solution, but I would like to get this fixed so that my MSP430 FR5739 will function correctly.  Are there any suggestions
