I'm shure it's the compiler that simply checks the index
of the array and if it's greater than half of the maximum positive
int_16 value (16384 or so) it refuses to compile. The array occupies
46464 Bytes in Flash, and it fits easily into the 64KB, even with IRQ
vectors and c runtime stuff.

That's why I originally switched from an 8bit array
to an 16bit array, because with the 8bit array I will exceed the
index int_16 limit of 32768 with my index of up to 46463, but 16 bit with
half the index must work.

Thanks !
