    it doesn't seem like much of a "bug" to me to have the RTL only read()
    64K bytes at a time. 'taint a bug, 'tis a feature.  you wouldn't
    want RMS to have a tight for loop to move data around when it can
    be done with one instruction... 
    
Gee, and I guess a loop around a call to movc3 would be too difficult,
wouldn't it?
