I have idle detection enabled, and it is working.

Oh, that reminds me: what is it that simh recognizes as an idle loop?
Someone quoted the code here, but (a) that was a long time ago and I'm
not sure I can find it easily and (b) it doesn't clearly delinate what
signals simh versus what is unrelated accident-of-the-implementation
code.

Unless I misremember, it raises the IPL to 1. A level that is otherwise meaningless, so not something done by mistake, and not something used by anything.
