It&#x27;s generally the other end, where there is &#x27;not enough&#x27; code.  Early systems needed to be like this because there was very little memory for your code and people would often do things use calculated jumps based on some register value.  Not to mention the joys of self modifying code.<p>This all sounds cool until someone actually hands you &quot;Mel&#x27;s&quot; code: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pbm.com&#x2F;~lindahl&#x2F;mel.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pbm.com&#x2F;~lindahl&#x2F;mel.html</a><p>PS: Beginners or Evil people, would also get into horrid messes by trying to get something that sort of works into something that almost worked.
