    A4th problem with 68020 (ficc!karl@uunet.uu.net)

A4th, the public domain Forth for the Amiga (available via anonymous FTP
and uucp from uunet) has a problem in that the 'rcall' routine it uses
to call the ROM is self-modifying, resulting in an instruction cache-
related guru when you start A4th.

I can get it to work by using Dave Haynie's setcpu to turn off the icache,
but it still gurus on exit.

Has anybody fixed this or would anybody like to give it a try?  The code
is in the first few screens of kernel.blk.
