This may be obvious, but are you using small code/data?  Then I think you need
to make sure a4 points to the middle of your data space.  Read the manual
carefully for details.  I've created tasks with 1.1 and 3.20a, but not 1.2.


While I'm on the subject, is there an easy way to run a program without the
overhead of a process?  If you copy the task into allocated memory, then you
must use only relative addressing, or do some major address translations.
At any rate it is a pain.  What would be ideal is a compiler directive that
lets you prevent deallocation of this function upon exit.
