Try reducing the size of your RAM-disk, that might help...  If not, try
giving /usr/bin/asld LOTS of room to play with...  Try saying
chmem =60000 /usr/bin/asld and see if that helps...  Be advised that you
won't be able to link kermit though, asld runs out of memory on that one.

We really should have the assembler and linker in seperate passes, and in
the meantime it would've been nice if asld was linked with seperate I&D,
that would buy us another 14 Kb of stack/heap space...
