Ah, that's (as yet) an unsupported feature, trying to use the Code
Fragment Manager. On the 68K Mac, it's really horrible (you have to
compile with a specially hacked compiler under MPW, and the version
I've got botches the math library). On the PPC, it's a lot better.
Wait until Jack.Jansen@cwi.nl is back from holiday (any day now), he's
doing the PPC port.

(I've sold my 68K Mac in preparation for my move to the US so the 68K
support will be lacking until I've bought a new one over there :-)
