Fix bug in like terms collection in expression simplification Like term collection would lose the actual "variable" part of the term if the second term collected happened to have no coefficient. This would cause the expression to take the value of the calculated coefficient which is obviously wrong. Thanks to hider <stego@satx.rr.com> for reporting the bug and providing a proper test case. Observation: this bug has been present since the first pre-release of lwtools 3.0 when the algebraic expression system was introduced. Apparently people tend not to create expressions that trigger the like terms handler. The specific conditions require the symbol to be undefined and the second operand to the addition has to have no coefficient so it's likely a fairly rare scenario. Still, it is somewhat surprising that nobody tripped on it before now.

>This human-readable ASCII hexadecimal format consists of CR+LF terminated 
lines of ASCII text. Each line has the following structure: a zero-padded 
four-digit ASCII hex address, a colon separator, and one or more zero-padded
two-digit hex values separated by commas. ASCII Hexadecimal format favors 
paragraph-aligned addresses (i.e. a least significant address nybble value
of zero). During output, the number of hex values on each line are adjusted
to align the address of the next line on a paragraph boundary. The sequence 
of addresses in the ASCII Hexadecimal file directly follows that of the source
file; multiple ORG directives in the source code may result in out-of-sequence
addresses in the ASCII Hexadecimal output.</P
