Was about 45K if I remember right.

As I recall (don't have the code in front of me at the moment) this was
due to the system specific modules attempting to bind a function that
the generic modules didn't know about.  Look for places in the generic
modules where exit() is called and print what is wrong before exiting.
Took me a day with Metascope to figure this out, but I wanted to find
out how Metascope worked anyway (the answer is *great*).

The executables distributed on my latest disks were done with both
Manx and Lattice (I try to use both whenever possible so subtle bugs
found later can be isolated more easily).
