The HP-48SX must receive a binary file as the exact length intended.
Extra nulls after the contents to fill out a 128 byte block, as are
frequently inserted by XMODEM packages, will result in the incoming
binary data stored as a string on the stack, not put into a data
object as expected.
Struggled with this one for a while and thought others might want to
know. Thanks to Brian Walsh, Jake Schwartz, and Al Duba for their
assistance in the investigations.
