It is, sort of.  Ragge, however, kindly took the time to show me how
to use asm() correctly, which was quite interesting.  I had no idea
that GCC could be so smart about this stuff!

Trouble is, my "4(ap)" dereference, and even my (unneccessary) "ret"
were being inlined as well.  That's not good when you don't want the
function calling tas() to return to its own caller from within tas().

I'll look into it.  It's not actually relevant to this particular
project, but I want to work this all out anyway, for future use.
Thanks for your suggestion!
