Help with debugging coff .cset bug?

[Jason Sullivan]

Yep, I expect all the sections to start at address 0 (at least before I run
it through a linker).

Hi Jason,
  You don't say what you consider the correct behaviour, at least not
explicitly.  I'll assume that you expect the third csect to start from
zero.  Is that so?  From what I've read about csects they appear to
behave more or less like ELF sections, so that would be reasonable.
