I will use this opportunity to remind everyone that several types of mails are
dropped by the mailing list server. The following is from the info mail
everybody got when subscribing:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHEN POSTING TO THE LIST, PLEASE KEEP THE FOLLOWING IN MIND:

  [...]

  2. Please do not send program binaries or other attachments to the list.
     Place them on a ftp or web server and post a link instead. If you don't
     have ftp or web space available, please contact me in private mail.

  3. When answering, please keep quoted material down to a minimum. There are
     several filters for incoming mail, and you will NOT get notified in case
     of a problem - your mail will simply be dropped.

It does, but it will not allocate this space. You will have to make sure that
the register space is big enough (for example by supplying a modified
zeropage.o module).
