Thanks.  Gotta get smarter next time.

Turns out to be an older problem with the newer gcc optimizer.   Have to 
set "-O0" or get optimizer generated bugs in odd corners.  Some things 
work fine, others fail in weird ways.  Deep mojo, mon.  Not my area of 
expertise.

I am starting to fantasize more about just generating ARM64 code and 
doing a custom VM which is simple and explainable.

Yes, I know.  Too much work, not enough time.  Too specific to a 
processor.

But I like comprehensible!  Good to apply the Cuis philosophy to 
simplifying the VM!

Thanks for all!
