After an asm program is run, _asm_exec_ram still contains the program.  That 
way, if it's executed twice in a row, the ti-86 will just call _asm_exec_ram 
straight up rather than recopying the program.  Thus a small program (say 
just a nop) would just run right back into the asm program that was run 
previously.
