I occationally get undefined local symbols in my Megamax
links.  The easy way to make this bug appear is:
  static foo();
  ProcPtr actions[] = { foo, foo, foo}; /* Table of subp. pointers */
  foo()
  {
   ...
  }
This will give rise to three (wierd) undef symbols at the end of
the link, all named "foo".  Removing the static declaration
will fixs the problem.
  I have seen the undefined local symbol errors too, i.e. names
like $12, $324.  I diagnosised the problem using the disassembler.
I don't recall what construct caused the problem.
