- I suggest adding a line 'stack 70000' to this script. It's probably a stack

- It's just you :-) But to be honest, I also advise that you upgrade to 42.1
- (available from ftp.ninemoons.com:/pub/ade/<latest snapshot>). 42.0 crashes
- when running a non-ixemul program in a Makefile and this was fixed in 42.1.
-
- Usually, *.0 versions contain new functionality, and therefore may contain
- new bugs (I try to catch them in time, but I don't always succeed). Often,
- a *.1 version is released afterwards which fixes those bugs.
