	This was fixed in a recent beta version of the OS (local variables
weren't being copied on Execute or System calls).

	To check versions, specify the version number of the library you
need when you open it (aka OpenLibrary("dos.library",36L).  Or you can
open it with version 0, and then examine the version number in the library
base.
