	Can someone help me, I seem to have come across a bug in DLIBS 1.2
in the terminal printing functions:

		puts()
		printf()

	They don't seem able to handle strings of length > 256 chars.

		value = puts("<string of > 256 chrs>");

	after executing this value = 257 and only the first 256 chars have 
been printed.
	Inspection of the .s files shows that HCC is generating correct code
so the problem must lie in the DLIB puts() and printf() routines.
