Yup. I saw that too. It was 'fixed' by making the module initialisation
for B2DPlugin not do the wrong thing; that was causing an error in the
bowels of the simulator >which was not raising a notifier< !

I'm currently convinced there is something seriously screwed in some
signal/exception code. Note that the unit test for exceptions fails the
'outer' related test.  I also had a problem a while ago that I never
really got to the bottom of in VMMAker - an error would simply 'go by'
and make it look like the generation was done. We need to fix this PDQ
in my view.

I've been working with Dan on this and if you use mylatest VMMaker3-7b2
and the attached sim patch it should go a bit better. And since my
current bug seems to be to do with halfWordAt: it looks like Ned might
have fixed that... ta very much.

The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance.
