This iss still not totally safe, unlesss he makes sure that the 4 by
interrupt stack frame will not trash anything important (like data that
has yet to be scrolled). Code that does this must be careful or else it
will be subject to strange, inexplicable bugs when the phase of the moon
is incorrect.
