...but this is not good enough as within that callback i'm not allowed to
do anything useful. Event exit() won't work. And as I dont know where the
loop may be, I can't set a flag for treating the problem after returning
from the callback.

I guess I could replace the return address with that of my error-handling
function (which may then exit properly or whatever), but I have no clue how
(did not try any assembler on NY...). Any help?

(PS sorry for being so noisy these days... I hope you'll agree it was
worthwile with my next release ;) )
