I think the C code has the same problem. Hmm, and it looks like in both
the C and asm code, it's only the first iteration, before the main loop,
which has this problem. Then it should be easy to fix, in the asm case,
it's one additional mov and not in the main loop.

I agree.

If/when the code is reorganized to delay the q stores (to avoid the "adc
Q2,8(QP, UN, 8)" instruction), I think the overlap issue will also get
fixed in the process.
