I ran into this problem several years ago, and found the problem,
but never found the solution.  The problem, as I remember it,
is that lrem.s or ldiv.s uses the result of an operation that is
listed as undefined in the processor handbook.  The 11/70
executes the instruction `correctly', i.e. the way the code
expects it to, while an 11/34 does not.  I believe the
offending instruction is a divide where an overflow occurs.
The two processor handbooks I have do not list anything as
undefined, but they do say the operation is aborted.
