You are absolutely correct Fred, the stack checking code is built in, 
what you have to do is specify -v on the second pass (LC2) if you *DON'T*
want stack checking. This is required for all rentrant code (like handlers,
devices, printer drivers, libraries) and for the smallest possible code.
As many people have pointed out, the Lattice manuals are all derived from
the same base manual, and sometimes artifacts from other OSes sneak in there.
