I just tried compiling mined and it went through flawlessly.  Now it is true
I am now using the 1.2 compiler, but my suspicion is that the real problem
is the stack space.  If the compiler stack overflows, weird things happen
(the 8088 has no protection, as you may recall). 

Try chmem'ing the stack to 60000 and using the -F flag to run cpp and cem
separately and see if that helps.
