Well it is very possible, although I don't even have a suspicion of 
where the problem might be.  For example things go wrong if there are 
more than 16 regions in a single map, but this is unlikely to be a real 
limit as the region field in the city section is two bytes wide.

The sorting order for labels could be a problem, it not something that I 
have looked into much, and is next on my list to investigate.
