Urgs! Bad thing. Will not gcc put the data segment after the text one 
automatically? Well, you said not. That's bad. Frank - any experiences (you 
are always good for experiences   ;-)

Ok, we could simply put the data segment to a higher address. Or we make 
EmuTOS 256 kb big, like the 2.0x TOSs. Good thing. that you at least found 
this bug - such things are hard to find. I once did fight against a too 
small stack...
