BLEW TEMP K  occurs in large loops that manipulate strings.  CLRTEMP
may be used with some care in loops.

BLEW CORE only occurs when compiling a procedure and, these days,
requires that you have compiled something over and over without a
compress to clean up the wasted space.  COMPRESS cannot be done inside
a procedure or a loop.
