I created a series to fix above on the other thread.
It had to revise two places to fix the overrunning memory copy.

I chosen just using 9*SZREG instead of using fine grained three lines. 

Your analysis greatly helped for creating the fixes. Please let me 
know if it still has issue. 

Thank you,
