## Problems?
If the libz80-wrapped zasm executable works badly (hangs, spew garbage, etc.),
it's probably because you've broken your bootstrap binaries. They're easy to
mistakenly break. To verify if you've done that, look at your git status. If
`kernel.bin` or `zasm.bin` are modified, try resetting them and then run
`make clean all`. Things should go better afterwards.
If that doesn't work, there's also the nuclear option of `git reset --hard`
and `git clean -fxd`.
If that still doesn't work, it might be because the current commit you're on
is broken, but that is rather rare: the repo on Github is plugged on Travis
and it checks that everything is smooth.
