Hogwash!  I've been using and recovering a RRD from 1.5 megs of $C00000 memory
for half a year or so.  Works fine.  Most of that time was *before* I fixed
the Kickstart bugs dealing with $C00000 memory.

If you have $C00000 memory and don't have the fix, the RRD will loose out on
certain types of crashes, but not others.  It's not RRDs fault, it is a
problem in the auto-sizing Kickstart does.  It writes to ram to do the sizing
rather than using a trick to eliminate the need for the destructive write.


>in the c$00000 position.
	^^^^^^^
The proper way to express that is $C00000 or perhaphs C00000H or even 0xC00000,
but not C$00000.
