It was thus said that the Great Michael Sokolov once stated:

No, I did not know about the -N option. Tried that (once I found the
correct location) and it worked. Even more surprising was when I upped the

sort routine in sort_ascending() and sort_descending(), so even if I got the
right instruction changed, it wouldn't work because the code that was
modified was never called.
Not that I would do this, even for throw away stuff, but it's nice to know
it's there if needed.

Okay, figured out why my code didn't work,
and it's not due to writing to
the wrong location (although I suspect that still is a problem) but that
under Unix the code pages are marked read-only so of course it core dumped.
You do know about -N option to ld, right? That would make an OMAGIC
executable whose code is not protected.
