that can easily happen: adr is an adress into the current heap (not the
"artificial heap" where the kernel image is built), so it's very likely that
adr does change each time you try to link ...

there's another bug that might not yet have been fixed in the dec 19
release:
in BbLinker.Mod look for the procedure LoadExceptionTable (nested in
LoadRuntimeSection) and make sure the line
IF m.exTableLen > 0 THEN NEW(m.exTable, m.exTableLen) END;
is _not_ executed (this will lead to m.exTable have an address outside the
heap for the kernel image, which does explain the assert failing in
BbLinker0.Relocate)
