Despite the fact that it has a PDP 11 submode the VAX is very definately
not a 32 bit PDP 11.  The beauty of the PDP 11 the low percentage of
special case nonsense.  The VAX is almost all special case goop.
(Admittedly, it isn't anywhere near as bad as the intel 80* family of
satanic torture equipment.)
