Gaack!

Dunno what else to say, Willard.  But syscalls & get/setstats that worked 
correctly according to the occasionally a bit concise docs in the original 
code should not be destroyed in making nitros9 out of os9.  If my heart holds 
up, I'll see if I can get my system to boot with a usable boot & maybe see if 
I can sort it, but no promises at this stage.  I am due for a stress test 
early the 7th & no idea what they'll want to do after that.  I had a spell of 
very slow pulse and some mild chest pain last week, so I've been watching 
things a little closer than usual.  I suspect the call might still be ok, but 
that the stack frame is shuffling the input data somehow.  I also know it did 
run 100% stable for me when my system was at about nitros9 v1.16 or so.  So 
there is a benchmark of sorts.
