WORD-ALIGNED.  EITHER A LINKAGE STACK HAS BEEN ENCOUNTERED WITH

POINTER FIELD OF THE SAVE AREA CHAIN, OR A MISALIGNED (NON-WORD
BOUNDARY SAVE AREA IS IN THE CHAIN.  EXAMINE THE SAVE AREA CHAIN
TO DETERMINE WHICH IS THE CASE. "

I spent 2 hours this afternoon with a professional Nörgler (German for "complainer").  He hates change.  And every change is a <very bad word>.  2 hours of that is quite draining.


I think I've had enough for today.
