I have been using AMAC quite a lot lately, and have determined that
there is a bug in it.  I know about the one where it sometimes doesn't
find the macro name for a symbol after a label; I put a : after each
label, and made that one go away.  No, this one is more subtle; it
actually silently generates bad code.  I am sure of this, as I
inserted a few NOP's here and there and the problem went away.

If you know anything about this, you may be the one person that reads
this that can help.  Please respond; for nearly all my technical
questions I ask on this newsgroup, I get no response.  For most of the
others I have found work-arounds, and I probably will for this one
too, but ANY help is greatly appreciated.  Even the most
insignificant-seeming idea could save me a tremendous amount of time.

I am developing something for release, I think lots of people can use
it.
