and among the errata is this, on "fpldnldbi"

Actually, I believe that there are a couple of other errors in the
description of fpldnldbi on page 152. Much earlier in the book, on page
52, we are told that fpldnldbi is equivalent to wsubdb followed by
fpldnldb. My own trials have shown that page 52 is correct. On page 152,
therefore, we should have
Areg' = Creg
Breg' = undefined
Creg' = undefined
[whereas the book actually says
Areg' = Breg
Breg' = Creg
Creg' = undefined]
