Mike and Johannes - Thank you both for the suggestions.
I will follow the debug path you've given me when I've finished 
the current build.
(I'm still attempting to find a way to have both coffee and cake; 
eg. multilib support in GCC /and/ GDC).

I expect to get more information about this, and of course, I 
hope to find what causes the bug.
When my next build is finished, I plan to add a zero in front of 
the number 3:
uint[03] message =
... just in case it's a read-pointer "alignment-style" problem.

If the bug is related to Big Endian architectures, then it's a 
bit more important than if it's only related to PowerMacs; 
because there are other Big Endian hosts ...
PowerPC based Amiga, MIPS based hosts, Cortex-A based hosts, 
68xxx based hosts, other PowerPC based systems (IBM, YellowDog, 
etc) - and all those I forgot, plus future architectures.

If you are working with a BE host and come across this post, 
please post a comment, whether or not it works for you.
