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?

Some parts of legOS, especially the interrupt handlers, are less
portable than they should be - they use some assembly, or my
attribute((rcx_interrupt)) which I haven't verified with 2.95.2.

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.

Sounds like a problem with saving and restoring registers in
lnp_logical_handler. Could you verify in the disassembly if all
registers are being saved and restored? They should be, as this is not a
leaf function. If they aren't, we'll have to modify the rcx_interrupt
directive accordingly.
