  Version 1.29 of alpha/common/sgmap_typedep.c.  It increments seg
everytime through the loop, but may not always load that segment.  I'm
testing a change where seg is incremented only when is loads the segment.
If that works on my CS20, I'm going to see if it helps on the ES40.

  The CS20 has survived longer than it did before, so it looks like that
may be the problem.
