With Lennert's new program, I get mostly:
firstfirstfirst
firstfirstfirst
firstfirstfirst
but occasionally:
firstfirstfirst
firstfirstfirst
secondsecondsec
However, if I open code the memcpy() in the MAPREAD to copy one word
at a time, then I reliably get the "secondsecondsec" line. But if I
convert the memcpy() in MAPWRITE in the same way, I'm back to mostly
getting the failure with the occasional success. Utterly confused.
Unless someone's got a theory, I'm stumped.
