Hi Lee, I didn't mean that the example showed a compiler error; it and=20
the linker are doing everything correctly.

The compiler bug is unrelated: a const char string located in a named=20
PSEG makes it so that the debugger (MPLAB X) cannot put breakpoints or=20
step in any functions in that PSEG.  For no explicable reason.  So I=20
changed my code to not tell the compiler to put the const string in the=20
PSEG, and instead told it to put it at a specific address (that is in=20
the PSEG region), and everything works again.  But since this requires=20
actual hardware to demonstrate (unlike the fixup bug found last week=20
that they are looking at), I'm not going to spend the time to get a demo=20
of this on some microchip dev board for them to fix.  I've already lost=20
several hours.

Good times with XC8, further endangering a $40K project with a deadline=20
in 1 week.
