Since I installed GOMF 2.0 in my system, it has been popping up with
"68000 exception vector" messages at various times.

This has happened with DME 1.29, typically when doing block copies or
moves. When I moved the GOMF installation to a later point in my
startup-sequence, most of the occurences disappeared, but I still get it
when moving a block from one window to another (and maybe copying... can't
seem to duplicate that one).

It also occured with v26 of AMIC PD TERM, when exiting, unless I switched
fonts. Now I'm using v28e, which uses another font on startup, so I don't
know (haven't tested) if the problem is still there or is simply
circumvented by the font switch.

Given that I don't get errors or GURUs if I don't install GOMF, what's the
significance of this exception vector corruption? Is GOMF being too picky,
or is this something that could cause a problem under certain
circumstances?
