It is filled with 8 bit data from the tfm file... But the 256 value is
used as "uninitialized", I had changed the 256 initialization to 0xFF
probably on the urging of some compiler without catching the semantic
situation of that in this later code.  How silly of me.

In my head halfword is 8 bits.  I learned C and Assembly on Z80 and
8086 :-)
