... seems I'm looking for trouble:) 
I did a scan with grep r1 *.lst and grep __zero_ *.lst over my listfiles
und luckily my code doesn't modify this register. 
Guess my C-source is not too exotic:)
So it would work for me right now (TM).

it shurely is not wise to switch saving and restoring off,
without knowing when the compiler inserts it, but...
