Hi,
This patch addresses a problem with printing messages on the screen. Stage 1
makes assumptions that are not covered by official specifications (at least
to my knowledge), though in reality, they almost
always hold true. Nevertheless, removing those assumptions costs a single
byte, so let's get rid of them.
Appended is a patch.
