Manx's small model uses a jump table (the jumps can jump anywhere of course)
and lumps that with the static data in one segment.  Thus the JUMP table
can only be up to 64K, which means 16K functions (HARDLY LIKELY!).
The small model is only useless if you're going to have more than 64K
variables (also pretty unlikely).
