Oh really? And I always thought that it was a bug in the MP. So if it's
a design issue we could perhaps try to find and isolate the specific
problematic appliactions and kill them (create replacements for them).

A list of "DO NOT RUN UNDER MP" would be great.

As for AES implementation - XaAES can be fine tuned for FreeMiNT, I
believe.

Ah, then I don't want it.

Sounds like the work on better integration should have began already (10
years ago :-)
