Summary: Stack-checking turned off?

I spent about a week trying to get that example to work all because of one
stupid problem.  If you're using Lattice, make sure that stack checking is
disabled (can't remember the compile option, look it up in the manual). 
Otherwise, the assembly bridge to the input handler won't work.
Sorry if this is totally unrelated to your problem, but I didn't want to see
you go through the same hair-pulling.
