OK guys thanks for trying. Stephen was closest to hitting my problem.

Apparently, MAKHOL doesn't actually insert actual space (0x20)
characters LIKE THE DESCRIPTION IMPLIES, but rather just moves the
pointers around (or whatever). So if you MAKHOL and don't actually
poke real characters into the "spaces", mad filesystem damage happens.

I was burning out my brain trying to figure out how a function with 2
arguments could get confused about them and the problem was what
happens AFTER the function. :-(
