I'd rather suggest
+	if (_app)
+		_pdomain = Pdomain(1);

Of course, this has the drawback that accessories won't automatically run
in the MiNT-domain, but this has a certain sense: With SingleTOS + MiNT,
Accessories are the same process as the main application, so a Pdomain-call
will also influence the current application (usually the desktop), which
is not desirable. One would have to check whether a multitasking AES is
running or not, but unfortunately this can't be done in the startup code
because it requires an appl_init-call.


Ciao

Thomas
