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 ASCII format consists of a series of CR+LF terminated "records" of ASCII
text. Each record has the following structure: a start-of-record character
"S", an ASCII record type digit (0-9), a two-digit ASCII hex byte count, a 
four-digit ASCII hex address, an optional sequence of two-digit ASCII hex data
values, and a two-digit ASCII hex checksum. The LW tool chain issues only S0, 
S1, S5 and S9 record types. S1 records are limited to maximum of 16 data bytes
in length, and  paragraph alignment of addresses is favored. The address
sequence of the S-Records directly follows that of the source file; multiple
ORG directives in the source code may result in out-of-sequence addresses in
the S-Record output. </P

>Motorola S-Record format is a standard ASCII format accepted by most memory
device programming equipment. It is particularly useful when the assembled 
code output is destined to reside within an EPROM or Flash memory device,
for example.</P
><P
>LWASM can output this format since version 4.10. LWLINK can output this format
since version 4.11.</P
