I think this zxt4 instruction have a typo.  You really want to zap the
high part on "in2" here (the "len") parameter.  "in3" contains the "proto"
argument, which is only 16-bits.  But any garbage in the high part on in3
will be dropped by the "dep" instruction later which only pulls out the low
16 bits from it.

So I think you meant to type:

	zxt4	in2=in2

Does this make sense?
