Well, my compile line is:

LC -iINCLUDE: -rr -cafkrsu -M {f1} {f2} {f3} {f4} ...

I link with Tess.link, which contains:

FROM LIB:c.o+Tess.o+TessLo.o+TessHi.o+Cube.o+Files.o+*
Keys.o+Util3.o+XForm3.o+Util4.o+XForm4.o+ILBM.o+*
WriteIlbm.o+Mesg.o
TO Tess
LIB lib:lcmr.lib+lib:DBugLib.lib+LIB:lcr.lib+LIB:amiga.lib

When I take out -rr and the 'r's from the ends of the library names, it
works. (DBugLib is mine, and does not currently get called.)  When I
put them in, any attempt to use printf to print a float or double
causes an infinite number of '0' characters to print, and often GURUs
and/or stomps low memory.    Looks like a bug to me.   Any suggestions?
