Hmm.. looking at the code the "dec r0" looks like it should be
"dec r1". The value of r1 at this point is 34 (and r0 is not).
The comment is likely also wrong: "r1=33.,...,1". This would
agree with the current values. r0 looks to be used for an entirely
different purpose throughout the code (linking jsr's).
