OK, you found the same bug that I did -- Microware 6809 C cannot
have a goto'ed label as the first executable stmt in a function.
If it does, the funny wasteful code inserted (to make jumps in and
out of blocks with local variables) causes the stack pointer to
"walk."

Some folks on the Coco mail list may have saved bugs over the years.
I some in various files.  At one time a certain Microware employee was
saving them, but maybe his boos wouldn't like to see them all
posted at once ^-).

BTW, #define void int  helps a lot with newer sources.
I use it for my own stuff.
