Ahh, found it.  size_t is unsigned, so the while loop never terminates.
Something like:

	for (; __n; __n--)
		d[__n] = s[__n];

makes that work for me.

This allows me to not need to pad or have any of the chosen attributes.
I do need to have a memory attribute, however, and I'll see if I can
figure out what is happening there.

Fun debugging when the loop overwrites the code itself, but it keeps
working because it is in the cache.
