The 2 level verses 8 level stack will knock you over every time it it is
exceeded. Perhaps this is the problem. I guess it depends on what you
mean by etc. There are other nasties, however why not forget the 54 and
go for a 61? These are closer to the 84 and I think you will find, will
be less problems for future development.
