Strange. If I read that stack frame correctly, that seems to be an
exception frame of type 0xb ("Long Bus Cycle").
Not sure where you get the 0xb from - the frame format I see is 0.
The "Frame format=0" is, afaik, the format of when the error happens.
But I'm looking at what the stack contents are at the time of the
exception, to see what actually *triggered* the error.
And if I read it right, the RTE that took the format error fault had this stack:
02088004 3666b008 1c0eb209 ..
and that means that it tried to return with status register 0208
(which looks correct: supervisor bit clear), to PC 80043666 (which
might be right - it's a similar address to the ones in A0/A1).
And then the format/vector value is b008.
That is, if I read it right, format 0xb, which is that "Long Bus Cycle" thing.
NOTE! I may be misreading this entirely. My m68k knowledge is so
out-of-date that it's not even funny, and it actually predates all
this fancy format stuff. So I'm just pattern-matching with the manuals
I found online.
