I called the Lattice BBS intending to report this, and found that they already
have a fix for it.  The file is amfix401.arc.  It appears that the bug was in
all the lc*.lib files.  It replaces the cxbrk.o, stub.o, and cxovf.o modules.
That's all the files with requesters!  I am amazed that 4.01 got out with this
bug since it is SO obvious.
