I am seeing exactly the same thing when I built my own legOS.srec from
scratch. The kernel seems to run fine (view, on/off, prgm, run buttons) until
dll crashes it.

Auugh, I too am using gcc-2.95.2. If I use legOS.srec/.lds from the 0.2.3
distribution I can rebuild the stuff in demo with the gcc-2.95.2 toolchain and
it works fine. I just can't make a working kernel.
Is there a better explanation for this than 'install egcs-1.1.2'? egcs 1.1.2
is older than 2.95.2. Was a regression introduced?

This is definitely a different symptom. If you run dll -v you can see that the
RCX hangs immediately after "delete program" and never responds.
