In response to Moshe Braner's questions concerning a safe place in memory, I can
only think of one location that is safe.  Actually, it is a series of a few
longwords that are only safe until the system crashes.  That's right, the 
register save area used after a crash.  As far as I know, these memory locations
are only used on a system crash, so should be free to use while the system is
operating normally.
