The problem occurs in context where i cross the 255 barier (so lots of 
token registers are allocated) as well as much memory (given the 
specific task); since registers > 255 are implemente using main mem (or 
at least different than those <256) i think that there  is a problem in 
the mem allocation (or copy) area
