What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. load Faceball 2000 Game Boy rom. Game loads and runs demo fine.
2. hit start on main menu
3. game freezes or resets

I tested older versions of gnuboy (v1.0.3 and hacked v1.0.2). Problem still present (i.e. different to GBC issue https://code.google.com/p/gnuboy/issues/detail?id=6 ).

NOTE oolder versions of gnuboy don't build easily. Here is a patch to allow building of [r20] on current compilers.
