Oops - the version I posted differed in one character from the version
that I'd compiled - I'd just used "sbb" in the working version and let
the compiler figure out which version to use.

It was mainly down to the differences between the i386 and x86_64
versions, and trying to understand the reasons for those differences,
and indeed how the entire set of macros worked at all.
