I can see that the first two can be subtracted to give the sizes
of the data, which is 70 or 0x46. 0x46 is the last byte of the
address of _size, so what's happening there?  What's with the crap
in bits 16-47?

But something is not right.  I've also asked what is the point of
the -size symbol if you can just do -end - -start, but nobody has
explained.

What result for the size did you get when you ran this?

It seems people are just guessing what might be the right code and
posting random fragments!
