- Hmm... I've had to go back to 1.07 due to this.
-
- As an aside, it also triggers what MiNT reports to be a hardware error when
- my login process is run under it (just as it checks the password, for some
- reason. The same source runs purfectly when compiled on other m68k machines.
- I must admit that it doesn't run correctly when run in TT-RAM under older
- versions of MiNT for some reason (I've never been able to find out why),
- though it doesn't crash, merely can't match the password.
