We have come up against several compiler and ps-x bugs so far,
including gcc crashing on -O3 compiles [stack error] on simple code
and some other stuff, but this is brilliant!

The following code kills the Yaroze. Something to do with the variable
name length (9) although longer and shorter seems ok. Only occurs with
certain sized arrays (something to do with odd values?) and with
unsigned shorts possibly. Anyway, mad mad mad bug. libps.h doesn't
need to be included.

unsigned short PlayerMap[3*5];

main()
{
}
