	I couldn't find this in 0.8.1, or the latest "snapshot".
Maybe it is in the latest version of the CVS file?

	Calling newcpu.cpp's m68k_reset does all the resetting,
but because the emulator is an independant thread, most of the
time the emulator tells me "Your Mac program just did something
terribly stupid"

	Fair enough. I see that the BeOS port has one too,
but that the Amiga port does not. Interesting.
