The internal Lattice function _CXV25 has a bug.

To fix this problem, type ...

- OML LC:lcm.lib x cxv35
- DisAsm cxv35.o TO cxv35.a OPT X ;Metacomco's DisAsm!
- Add the line "MOVEM.L D2-D5/A1,-(A7)" right after the label _CXV25.
- ASM cxv35
- OML LC:lcm.lib r cxv35.o
- Recompile your example program (LC -Lm test), that's it!

Ralph
