Steve if the first nibble in an ODV entry is X'F' then the OES offset is 3
bytes long, not 2 bytes.  This rule is sort of like "castling" in chess.
Thus very large programs may have OES components longer than 64K.  The
first nibble in each ODV entry means...

0: variable
1: pointer
2: entry point
3: branch point
4: instruction definition list
5: operand list
6: constant
7: exception monitor
8: machine space pointer
9: unsigned binary
F: actual nibble type ('0' to '9') is in the OES, not ODV
