You can definately get it to work by forcing the whole program into CHIP -
wastes some CHIP ram, but it gets around the problem (since determined to
be an A68k bug, I believe).

Just use

   BLINK FROM (executable) TO (newexecutable) CHIP

a new exe will be created with the CHIP attributes set on all hunks.
