You shurely have to chmem the stack of asld to maximum value.
When compiling with the -O flag, cg  (1.2) says
	Bombed out of codegen
on some files (WHATS THAT ??). I have these files compiled withOUT the -O and
all others WITH -O flag. The space of asld is even enough to generate a
Version with termcap use - the posted binary was without help and termcap.
I had never problems with "weird acting" - except probably if I read a big
file and add stuff until reaching the buffer limit.
