Blink is OK.  The problem is in A68k.  By misreading some easily-misread
documentation in the AmigaDOS Technical Reference Manual, I had A68k put
the MEMF_CHIP and MEMF_FAST bits in the wrong place.  Version 2.5 corrects
this problem.  I'm not sure whether version 2.5 made it out onto
comp.{sources|binaries}.amiga or not, but if you really want it you can
send me a disk and I'll return it with the new version.  I hope to start
on version 2.6 Real Soon Now, adding forward branch optimization and an
ARexx inteface to your favourite editor for error handling.
