Hi there.

Perhaps there should be a flag available to select which behaviour,
set so that if -DDEBUGMAX was passed to the compiler, the nested
version would be provided, otherwise the non-nested version.

This way, it can be used to locate bugs, like the floppy.c bug that
was located earlier...

Best wishes from Riley.
