Indeed, a Mac IIci ROM has to be used with "modelid 5". It works in banks
mode because an access to a memory area other than RAM, ROM, Video is a
no-op.

In direct addressing mode, the sigsegv handler catches it but then
crashes. B2 could be modified so that the instruction causing the fault is
skipped but this is becoming tricky to deal with other architectures.

Another cause is probably in the video code. The blitters are probably
still trying to address a region that is reclaimed. Working on a patch to
test.

Yes, that's another problem I forgot to mention. ;-)

OK, that's something to take under consideration in the event I can't
reproduce that on a similar configuration. Have you tried with gcc3 ?

Bye,
