It seems to be related specifically to the libraries on my falcon.  When
keith compiled the same code, his CT60 falcon didn't give off this
behavior, and when he sent the binary to me, my falcon indeed worked
properly.  Maybe my flags program is broken or something?  It does seem
perhaps like ST-ram is being used because that's about how much ST-ram I
would have free.
