Noted.  So I get a little more incentive to get the PIC development
machine back online a little sooner than I had planned - this isn't a bad
thing, probably.

Well, yes.  It's also the most prone to lead to hair-pulling if the
compiler does mangle things.  Fortunately I don't have a lot of changes
that really have to be done - on the software side, that is, the hardware
is being reworked extensively to fit the new packaging goals - and I
should have plenty of time to risk an attempt with the compiler and still
be able to fall back to a less ambitious set of mods to the existing
assembler version.

Thanks, Clyde!
