The request for 2 (I guess, rtx's) results in a malloc for 65536
bytes, so presumably each rtx is 32k.  It appears that only the 
single byte at offset 47072 needs to be initialized to some
appropriate value (I found that x'08' and x'81' also work, and
I am still experimenting on that) in order to circumvent the 
problem of garbage code generation.

I wonder if another field like the above also needs to be
initialized?  Or maybe the same field, but it needs to be
for the second rtx?

I will try to see if I can map that offset onto a meaningful variable.
