Correct bug in the object file output code leading to stack corruption It turns out leaving a pointer to a stack allocated temporary in a persistent data structure is not conducive to correct program operation. Undo the export check setup in the object file output sequence so a pointer to stack allocated memory is not left hanging when the function returns. This seems to correct at least one mysterious crash bug, and possibly others. Thanks to Boisy Pitre for reporting the crash bug that led to this discovery, as well as a previous crash bug that likely has the same root cause. Additional thanks to Ciaran Anscomb whose debugger wielding wizardry revealed the exact location of this particular bit of unbrilliance.

>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
