The problem (see my post of the com_backpatch code) is writing a compound 
statement (here a for loop) with a body so large as to require a jump of 
more than 64K bytes in the compiled bytecode (ie, from the test at the top 
of the loop to the code that follows after the loop).  Until the jump limit 
is raised (likely a long wait ;-), the OP must factor some of the code out 
of the loop.
