Bingo!  They were only intended to test the new ITEMTABLE_DEBUG logic, nothing else.

But I’m still extremely troubled by no SIGSEGV on Ubuntu-20.04 (gcc-9.3.0).  Yet I do get an abend under Debian-Bullseye (gcc-10.1.0).

I’m trying to find out why my Ubuntu stack is consistently initialized to zeroes.  It’s a troubling situation.

Yes, I was referring to the steps reflected in that temporary hack commit message.  That’s build/make stuff that's way beyond me. 

Good luck with those efforts.
