Now, it does look odd, so I should move the EXC_DEBUG and EXC_VECAST_E =
down below the EXC_LAST for sorting purposes.

Thanks for checking.

One other point:

save_trap_init[0x2f00] does not include 0x2500
save_trap_of[0x2f00] does not include 0x2500

But. . .

> #define EXC_LAST        0x2f00          /* Last possible exception =
vector */

indicates that 0x2500 is included. Is it actually
the count/bound and not the last possible?
