Thanks to Bruce Evans (evans at syd.dit.csiro.au), I do know why.

>>>	jmp *%eax	; 0xff 0x40

That should have been a '0xff 0xe0'.  Whoever typed it into the '386
definition file did so incorrectly (actually, I was wrong, as well:  it was
'040', or 32 decimal).  Changing it to 0xe0 causes it to work.

Anyway, nested functions appear to work now.  I'll make sure the change
makes its way back to rms...
