I have been following the HLock thread and would like to get
some clarification.  Is it safe to pass pointers to functions
across segment boundaries?  (I think this question might be
rephrased: 'are my code segments going to be relocated while
my program is running?', is that right?)

I have tried doing this running the heapscramble (hs) mode of
Macsbugs with no obvious ill-effects, but still, I wonder...

Thanks,
	Dan
