Hmm. OK, i'm in.  But you will have to tell me what you see and how to
reproduce it, as I was not aware of any ArtStkMkt discussion going on
because the thread had Compaq in the title.  

I'd just like to offer, in my defense, that the ASM-2.0 code has several
disconnects that mean the internals do not match the model specs.   The
model dynamics shown in the graph do not match the output of the
original objc code.  Closing those up may account for the seg fault, I
don't know.  I guess I mean to weasle with something like "even though
something I did introduces a crash, at least it is a substantively more
interesting crash than the ones I got with the original ASM :) "
