[Someone should format this and return it to Paul Krause]
The problem you reported with zwgc complaining "main.c: Bad address
Setting Location" was discovered two months ago, but due to release
timing, will be fixed with the forthcoming 6.0R release.
There are two parts to the problem:
1) the RT kernel had a bug where it did range-checking incorrectly.
2) the Zephyr library routine which tickled this bug was fixed to not
tickle it.
Both of these fixes should be in 6.0R. [They didn't get into 6.0C.
Don't ask me why, I don't know.]
