I've been perusing some source code (e.g., Apple sample source code)
and have seen various references to "an old region bug" and "work around
a 128K ROM bug".  In both cases, the code in question seems to concern
setting up "wide open" regions, e.g., a region is set to a rectangle
of bounds	(-32768, -32768, 32766, 32766)
instead of	(-32768, -32768, 32766, 32766)

What's this about?
