Well, Byron, I've tried to do it time and again, as well as to remove
cells in such a way that none are left in the list.  I get crashes when
I create it with (0, 0, 1, 0), and display anomalies when I remove the
last cell of a list that was created originally with (0, 0, 1, 1).  The
crashes and anomalies go away when I make sure there is always one
cell.  I've done this with both standard LDEF 0 and my own LDEFs, which
I've been writing for years now.
