Sometimes I write very small stay-resident programs and, instead of
allocating 2K of bss for an stack (and then only using 250 bytes) I set
up the stack to overrun my startup code and wander down into the
basepage.
Does anyone know: Will this cause any problems? Does TOS need anything
in the basepage one I've started executing -- providing I don't Pexec
anything? Of course, I'd better not go *below* the basepage...
