Hmm... looking at the RBIL, it seems that I need to set CFLAG on entry
to make sure that it is set if the function is unimplemented. I'll
upload another version later today.

I think this is a known problem.  Same with the Context out of Memory
error that some people get at random times (even though it doesn't
affect functionality).

Again, not because of my changes.

I think you already reported this for the old .84pre

286 optimizations don't make a difference in code compared with 286
optimizations, so there isn't really a point...
