OK, it seems we were tripping it with the 2.3 kernel.  We had:

	.SPACE $CODE$
	.SUBSPA $TEXT$
(a function)
	.SUBSPA $DATA$
(some more functions)

Changing this to:
	.SPACE $CODE$
	.SUBSPA $DATA$
(a function)
(some more functions)

seems to work OK.

Thanks to prumpf for his help tracking this down.
