- Because of a bug in MiNT 0.95. I can't remember when this was fixed;
- it may work correctly in 1.05, and certainly will in 1.06.
-
- Note that it is not possible to return from a SIGBUS error handler,
- although longjmp()ing out of it should work. (Returning will restart
- the offending instruction on a 68030, causing another bus error, and
- will produce unpredictable results on a 68000.)
