        !            11: These names refer neither to routines nor to locations with interesting
        !            12: contents.  The address of
        !            13: .I etext
        !            14: is the first address above the program text,
        !            15: .I edata
        !            16: above the initialized data region, and
        !            17: .I end
        !            18: above the uninitialized data region.
        !            19: .PP
        !            20: When execution begins, the program break coincides with
