Possible but not very probable.
I got one bomb some day; the ST hang while drawing the bomb.

Same as above: if some error occures while drawing the bombs, the Xbios
will draw too many bombs (?).

So do I.
A Trap is alittle faster and smaller than a JSR. I think it helped to
put GEM into the ROM.
A Freak here in Germany removed the F-Line Traps from the Rom and
substituted them with new A-Line Traps (to work with a PAK68 board
containing a 68020).
