#237 running method causes rexx crash

[TheDavidFactor]

As discussed on RexxLA:

Under certain circumstances rexx will crash when attempting to run code stored in a module. I have included a series of files to duplicate the process. During testing I created a file of similar size that consisted total of NOPs and that did not recreate the problem, I also tested with smaller programs and didn't have a problem.

Attached Files:
test.rex -- loads comfree.rex and ivrpost.rex in to module and runs it.
ivrpost.rex -- code that is appended to comfree.rex
comfree.rex -- main body of code that runs

I tried running this, but I don't have REXXCTS, so it didn't finish, and it didn't finish.

Sorry, I didn't notice that code in there since it didn't cause an error on my system. I've deleted it and added a replacement copy of comfree.rex to this bug.
File Added: comfree.rex

It only seems to hit that error about 50% of the time. The rest of the time, it crashes. I've also fixed the problem already.

"I've also fixed the problem already."

Ah, well. One of these days I might beat you to it. ;-)
