  This may be due to sigcode [in m68k/m68k/sigcode.s] loading D0 using
a "movew", but the trap 3 handler compares all 32 bits of D0.  If it
doesn't match, the trap 3 handler treats it as an "Illegal Instruction"
fault.

  I've also found that the trap 1 handler destroys the contents of D0, which
breaks any program using longjmp() to pass a specific value.
