First, sorry for my post - it was should be in private. Second - I try
to compile edition, which you ask, from your site. I know nothing about
Jeremie' version.

Such assumption induces very annoying bugs!!!!! For example, if you use
char-variables as indexes and try to use value from second half of ASCII8,
you get wrong addressing!
char cidx = 0x80;
array[cidx]; // access to array[(int)-128], not array[128],
// as expected
All such places should be replaced by:
unsigned char cidx ...
or
array[(unsigned char)cidx]
from scratch!

Sorry, but if I try to change something in EDIT, this ends in almost
complete rewrite such worse code. Don't sure if I ready to spend this for
EDIT. Ask simpler actions (advice, recompilation, etc) from me in this.
