There was a problem with the AddGList library routine shipped with
the Manx 3.4 compiler - I've forgotten how it went, but the
arguments were not getting into registers correctly for the
call to the AddGList ROM routine - the result on my machine was
a crash. There is a patch in the currently supplied Manx
patches to fix it - it's available on most nets, including
PeopleLink and Bix, I think, and from Manx.
