John,
Send me the file and I'll tell you what's wrong (and release a new version of
gpasm if needed).

Some one has just sent a patch that will probably fix this problem. Chances are,
your .cod file is corrupt because of a bug in gpasm. Again, send me the test.asm
file and I'll attempt to duplicate the problem.

Well for the most part, these kind of bugs get immediate attention. Under no
circumstance should it be tolerated to have gpsim or gpasm dump core. Let me
know if it does and I'll make an honest attempt to fix it.
