Yes, I know, that's not the problem.  I call LoadSeg() and use the BPTR
to get a pointer to the first seg in the seglist.  The contents of the
seglist are fine, except for the first word.  I converted all the BPTR's
to CPTR's, etc.

I seem to have fixed this problem by putting a WaitBlit() after the
LoadSeg().  I know it sounds utterly ridiculous, but it seems to work.
If I have further problems, I'll post a code fragment.  Thank you.
