Someone posted a message about GOMF saying that req.library's file requester
trashes a low-memory-vector. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. It is a known problem with
GOMF, not req.library.

This point has been brought up before and explained before.

As far as to what a low-memory vector is (the poster asked), all system
vectors, such as exception and interrupt vectors, are stored in low memory. You
naturally don't want these stomped.

To reliably check low-memory violations, use Enforcer (you need an MMU to use
Enforcer - either a 68020 + 68851 or a 68030). This has been done with
req.library and it passes ok.
