Well. In fact, I also have crashes on the real hardware when pushing to
LC. They don't always happen, but I am quite sure there is something
fishy going on even if there's no dropping to the Apple 2's monitor. 
Sadly I'm very much not good enough at assembler to figure out if that's
something in my code, or something related to pushing code to the
language card. 

At the very least, cc65's .s generated files are exactly the same, with
offsets being just one or two off, when using code-name LC and not.

The vast majority of my code runs with absolutely no errors in its
libc/x86-64 form under Valgrind, but I also know that it doesn't make
sure there isn't some stupidity in the rare #ifdef __CC65__ parts, *or*
an integer/signed-unsigned overflow issue somewhere. I probably have an
issue, and it's probably just more visible with code in $D400-DFFF.

I've looked a lot at internet resources to figure out if I could
somehow get some higher level of debugging that I could handle, but
didn't find anything :/ Maybe my only choice is to try to build my
program for c64 and check with vice?

Thanks for confirming that :)
