That was due to me using the default memory which wasn't
enough for how sasm/pdpclib allocates memory (no heap).
I bumped it up to 512 MiB and sasm worked.

There was another problem with temp files and the 8.3
restriction in MSDOS 4, so I made a change to xcc and
I also created a makefile.xhx which has more minimal
activity and ... HX WORKS!

P.S. And that is available at pdos.org
