I discovered the bug! (note "the" not "my")
I was compiling and assembling the program under Manx (tried both 16 & 32
bit ints..neither had a chance at working).  I sadly had to compile and
assemble it with Lattice 1.0? to make it work.

My complaint with C on the Amiga is that of the two compilers: 1) Lattice
has 2 100K compilers and the slowest linker I have ever seen, and 2) Manx
compiles fast, link fast, and produces small code but on many occasions
produces incorrect code.

I have heard Lattice came out w. version 3.?? and a much faster linker.
I hope that this is true.
